Helping to balance exposure when working in high-contrast situations, the 100 x 150mm LEE Hard-Edge Graduated ND Filter 100x150mm 1-Stopfrom LEE Hard-Edge Graduated ND Filter 100x150mm 1-Stopis specifically designed to selectively control brightness in difficult lighting. The filter's design places the 0.3, 1-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 hard-edge transition between the density and clear areas is well-suited for photographing scenes with an even, distinct horizon line, 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 100mm 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.

Hard-edge transition between density and clear portions of the filter is suitable for photographing scenes with a distinct, well-defined horizon or line between light and shadow, and is also best-suited for use with a long or telephoto lens.

Neutral density 0.3 provides a 1-stop reduction in light in selective areas.

Constructed from optical resin for overall clarity and durability.

Compatible for use with the LEE 100mm filter holder.

Included filter pouch protects the filter when not in use.

Q: 1. 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.

Q: 2. Would this work with the nikkor 24-70 2.8?

Q: 3. I currently have a sony A7r with a Sony FE 24-240mm f/3.5-6.3 OSS Lens. Is this filter compatible with the lens I am using? Are there any kits or adapters I need as well? Thanks!

A: Hi Christian, Yes, it will work, you'll just need a 72mm adapter for whatever filter holder you're using. My recommendation is a Lee Filter holder and a 72mm lens filter adapter. If you have a lens that takes a larger filter size, say a 77mm, then I'd get a 77mm adapter and a 77mm to 72mm step down ring. That way you don't have too many adapters. Hope this helps.mick

Q: 9. What is the normal F stop that is recommended for shooting with these filters? I just got the Big Stopper and the Super Stopper. Shooting with film.

Q: 10. When buying a Neutral density filter, do you buy an adapter size for each lens size you have? That way the filter becomes interchangeable? For instance one size for a 24mm-80mm and another size for a 24mm-120mm.

A: For the Lee Big Stopper, you would need to get a filter holder such as the LEE Filters Foundation Kit (B&H # LEFK). You would then need an adapter ring to attach the filter holder to your lens(es). The size of the adapter ring would be dependent on the filter thread size of each of your lenses (any lenses with the same size filter thread could use the same adapter ring). http://bhpho.to/1lERSTT
