B+W #701 MRC Basic 50% Graduated ND Filter (52mm, 1-Stop)

The 52mm #701 MRC Basic 50% Graduated ND Filter from B+W darkens specific areas of an image, such as bright skies, while allowing for a normal, unaffected exposure in the other regions of the image. The filter is densest at the edge and tapers to clear by the middle, with a soft-edged line of transition between the dense and clear areas, which is useful for images without a strongly defined transition between the sky and the foreground. The filter ring rotates to allow precise positioning of the gradation, and the density provides up to a 1-stop reduction in light.
