For its price, the Cokin red filter is OK. I've experienced a lot of
flare, loss of contrast and sharpness with it. I don't know if it is
only my filter, but the Cokin red does NOT lose 3 stops, like 25A's
are supposed to - it's more like 2+ stops. I've had much better
results with Hoya and B+W 25A's, and I'm sticking to them.
