This is a P121F Graduated G2 Full Gray Neutral Density Resin Filter from Cokin. Often it is necessary or desirable to balance the light intensity in one part of a scene with another. This is especially true in situations where you don't have total light control, as in bright contrasty landscapes. Exposing for the foreground will produce a washed-out, over-exposed sky while exposing for the sky will leave the foreground dark and under-exposed.
Cokin graduated gray ND filters are part clear, part neutral density. They allow the transition to be blended into the scene, often imperceptibly. A ND.6-to-clear, with a two stop differential, will generally compensate the average bright sky-to-foreground situation and is also the most popular density of the series.
This filter measures 85 x 85mm and fits the Cokin P series holder.
The Cokin 121 series of filters comes in five variations of graduation.
Cokin 121 - ND8 3-stop Graduated Neutral Density
Cokin 121S -3-stop Graduated Neutral Density (Soft)
Cokin 121F - 3-stop Graduated Neutral Density (Full)
Cokin 121L - 1-stop Graduated Neutral Density (Light)
Cokin 121M - ND4 2-stop Graduated Neutral Density (Medium)

Comments about Cokin P121F Graduated G2 Full Gray Neutral Density Resin Filter:
I used the filter on a 3 day backpacking trip and it held up well to all the banging around. It was easy put on and off the camera. I like the ablity to "slide" it up and down to get more or less graduation as needed. photo's improved.

Comments about Cokin P121F Graduated G2 Full Gray Neutral Density Resin Filter:
The gradient on this grad ND is softer than I had expected. I usually prefer a 'harder' transition, but it's good enough.
Good for shooting landscapes with a dark foreground and a bright sky. (Or vice-versa)
My only regret is buying this one that has a fairly soft transition. That is my fault though.
