Helping to balance exposure when working in high-contrast situations, the 150 x 170mmLEE Filters Medium Graduated ND Filter 150x170mm 4-Stopfrom LEE Filters Medium Graduated ND Filter 150x170mm 4-Stopis specifically designed to selectively control brightness in difficult lighting. 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 medium-edge transition between the density and clear areas is well-suited for photographing scenes with an apparent but not rigid horizon line, such as when mountains or trees protrude into the sky. 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.

Medium-edge transition between density and clear portions of the filter is suitable for photographing scenes with an apparent, but indistinct horizon or line between light and shadow, such as when rooftops, mountains, or trees protrude into the sky.

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.

Q: 1. Will this filter fit inside a standard mattebox 4x4 tray? We use the Genus Matte Box Lite and use Tiffin 4x4 filters without a problem, however the Tiffin 1,8 ND is twice the price of the Lee filter.The Lee filter has foam around the sides and is thinner than the Tiffin which is 4mm thick... so not sure it was meant for use in a matte box like the Genus. Thx for your help.

A: It will fit but be a somewhat tight fit because of the foam on the filter.

Q: 8. Will this fit a Coken P holder (stated as 84mm)?

A: Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that the LEE Filters 85 x 85mm Little Stopper 1.8 Neutral Density Filter for LEE85 Filter System would fit inside the Cokin P Filter Holder. Cokin P square filters are 84 x 84mm in size, and their rectangular filters are 84 x 100mm in size. I cannot guarantee the extra 1mm width of the LEE Filters 85 x 85mm Little Stopper 1.8 Neutral Density Filter would work in the Cokin P Filter Holder.

Q: 10. Can I use this filter for the eclipse? If so, does it need an adapter?

A: Technically, yes, you could use it, but the sun will may likely still be overexposed. To get a properly exposed sun, you need a special solar eclipse filter that is far darker. Even with the solar eclipse filter, never use the optical view finder to frame the shot and always wear specialized solar eclipse glasses.
