The Singh-Ray 84 x 120mm Galen Rowell 0.9 Hard-Edge Graduated Neutral Density Filter helps to specifically darken skies and other bright areas of the image. The filter is densest at the edge and tapers to clear by the middle, with a hard-edged transition line between the density and clear areas. By having only a portion of neutral density on the filter, you can selectively darken areas of an image while allowing the portion of the image within the clear section to receive the normal amount of exposure. Neutral density filters do not affect the coloration of the image and the 0.9 density provides a 3 stop reduction in light from entering the lens.
Singh-Ray rectangular filters are constructed from CR-39 optical resin for high image clarity and overall durability. This filter is compatible with the Cokin P filter holder and measures 3.3 x 4.7" / 84 x 120mm.

Comments about Singh-Ray Cokin P Galen Rowell Graduated Neutral Density (ND) 3-Stop Filter:
I have used many different types of neutral graduated filters in the past. And this one is top notch as far a I'm concerned. It darkens the sky without generating any color changes, which many other inexpensive filters do. I guess it is true 'you get what you pay for'. I would highly recommend this filter to anyone.

I use with nikon 16-85 AF-S and cokin adapter. Excellent quality. The circular graduated neutral density is not possible correctly position the filter.The leather case can hold fungus in areas of high humidity.

Comments about Singh-Ray Cokin P Galen Rowell Graduated Neutral Density (ND) 3-Stop Filter:
The optical quality of this filter is without a doubt the best there is. Fits the Cokin P-series holder perfectly, comes in a really nice leatherette pouch. So much better than my screw-in ND filters, no vignetting at all. Can't wait to pick up a few more!

I have read about ND grads for years and have always meant to try them out. Now that I have I am very impressed! While you have to be careful to position the transition correctly, the results are excellent. I should have gotten them years ago!

Comments about Singh-Ray Cokin P Galen Rowell Graduated Neutral Density (ND) 3-Stop Filter:
I use this filter for landscape photography in front of my Canon 17-40 f4 and 24-105 f4 lenses. Great for sunrise and sunset photos with a 3 stop difference between the bright sky and dark foreground. The rectangular shape of this filter enables you to position it according to your needs. I was always frustrated with circular graduated neutral density filters, as they don't have that flexibility of placement. I am also impressed with the image quality as the filter doesn't degrade the image as compared to my previous ones. Great buy!

I used this filter to capture a sunset last night and the photographs are just beautiful! It prevented the colors from "washing out", which is why I bought it.

I've been using these filters for nearly 10 years and they've been probably the best addition to my landscape kit. The 3stop hard edge in particular has been a saver in a number of times, such as sunsets at the coast, flowers in shadow (foreground) with snow-capped sunlit mountain peaks in the background.

Yes, it's expensive. But this grad delivers great results that make people say "wow" when you show them the resulting pics. The filter I received appears flawless and has a very even grey cast.

This is the first ND filter I purchased for my DSLR. I used it specifically to help with sunset/sunrise pictures, where I had a high contrast difference within different portions of my image. This product has worked great for these purposes. There is no perceptible distortion of the image, and I am getting great shots. The flexibility of the holder to fine tune the placement of the ND section is key.

Comments about Singh-Ray Cokin P Galen Rowell Graduated Neutral Density (ND) 3-Stop Filter:
It is almost a must have for me when phtographing landscape. It is an excellent ND gad filter and I get consistently good result. I also have the Singh-Ray 2-stop hard and 3 stop soft filters. Since I have no side by side comparison with another brand, I can't say if other brand is comparable and just as good.
After years, I don't understand why Singh-Ray has not improved the filter storage, it is still a soft pocket. If any dirt get inside the pocket, it can scratch the filter.
