My neighbor told me she had some filters that she had for years and she would give them to me when she found them, well I got them today, can you please help identify?
I have hand held them over my IR UZI and my Canon. I have not looked at the results on the computer yet.
Anyway one is a square of blue glass printed on it 'cokin A. 020'
2 HOYA's one with HMC +2, other HOYA HMC +1.
Also there are a lot of vingnettes that should be fun, depending onthe paralax.
Also a double sided mirror that is square that must clip on something, but why?
Thanks so much.

The Hoyas sound like ND filters. The Cokin is the smaller "A" size color filter. Not familiar with the 020 designation as I don't have any of their color filters, they are primarily for B&W use. It will fit the Cokin A square filter holder. I am guessing the Vignettes are also for the Cokin A since you didn't say any more about their size or shape. The double mirror is a mystery, got any pictures?

Cokin A filter is for a camcorder or compact camera.
The 20 destination is to the degree of colouring There are different strengths also designated by ABC
80 A filter
Without filter With Filter
These are examples from Cokin's site.

Cannot help with the Hoya HMC 1and 2 filters but would be a difference in density. The only Hoya filter I have is a skylight and some very old black and white filters. But they are among th etop filter makers. I always have the skylight on my lens for a couple of reasons. One is to protect my lens if I knock the lens against something. The other is to reduce the excess bluishness in outdoor shots.
The vignettes are fun to use and you can get some interesting effects on the right subject.
The glass one I suspect is a prism and connects to a the filter holder. Once again on the right subject the result can be stunning. I have a great photo hanging in my lounge room taken with a prism at Adelaide Botanic Gardens.
You will get much enjoyment from these filters and used creatively will take your photography to another level.
Would love to see some of the images you take with these filters. Have fun.

I have to disagree with this. The Cokin A is meant for use on any imaging device with a 62mm or smaller thread size. I have used mine on 35mm Nikon film cameras as well as DSLRs for over 20 years. The "A" size is better suited to these smaller diameter lenses than the "P" size which I use for lenses over 62mm. I have an assortment of Cokin filters in the "A" size that I use primarily on my Nikon 105mm F2.8 MICRO as it has a 52mm front thread.
I also use it one my Pentax 645 medium format camera and the 75mm lens, which has 58mm threads. Cokin makes a very versatile system in each size and they offer a wide variety of filters for both sizes.

Not looking for a catfight either. I see the use chart. Check the Cokin A specific page. I doubt anyone will call a Hasselblad a compact or a camcorder. Its simply the smallest size of the system is all. I use the A and P systems and like them both.

I'm pretty sure 'HMC' is Hoya Multi Coated.
Are the +1 & +2 close-up lenses/filters?
Can you post a pic of the double sided mirror device?
