Formatt Hitech Hard-Edge Vertical Graduated ND Filter (4 x 5.65", 4-Stop)
Key Features
  • 1.2 Optical Density
  • High-Quality Schott Glass
  • Optically Pure
This 4 x 5.65", 4-stop Formatt Hitech Hard-Edge Vertical Graduated ND Filter enables you to enhance reality, adding a touch of subtlety or drama to the image. 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 where 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. This filter enables cloud detail to be kept correctly exposed in the picture.
