Helping to balance exposure when working in high-contrast situations, the 150 x 170mm LEE Filters Very Hard Graduated ND Filter 150x170mm 4-Stopfrom LEE Filters Very Hard Graduated ND Filter 150x170mm 4-Stopis specifically designed to selectively control brightness in difficult lighting conditions. The filter's design places the 1.2, 4-stop density at the top of the filter and then transitions to clear by the center of the filter for a gradual, natural appearance. The very hard-edge transition between the density and clear areas is well-suited for photographing scenes with a straight, even horizon line, such as a seascape, as well as when working with long or telephoto lenses. This filter is constructed from optical resin that is both durable and helps to maintain high clarity, and is compatible with the LEE SW150 filter holder.

Graduated neutral density places the most density at the edge of the filter and tapers to clear by the center of the filter in order to accommodate photographing scenes with large bright areas, such as a daytime sky.

Very hard-edge transition between density and clear portions of the filter is suitable for photographing scenes with a distinct and straight horizon, such as a seascape, and is also best-suited for use with a long or telephoto lens.

Neutral density 1.2 provides a 4-stop reduction in light in selective areas.

Constructed from optical resin for overall clarity and durability.

Compatible for use with the LEE SW150 filter holder.

Included filter pouch protects the filter when not in use.
