Schneider Optics 5.65 x 5.65" Neutral Density (ND) Graduated Filters 0.3-1.2

Schneider Optics 5.650 x 5.650 Neutral Density Graduated Filters 0.3-1.2 can be used in uneven lighting situations to balance exposure. They are also used to increase color saturation in sky scenes by lowering sky exposure.

This is a Graduated Neutral Density Filter used for Cinematography. 50% of the filter is clear and 50% has a Neutral Density of 0.3 (1 stop). The transition from clear to ND is done with a SOFT EDGE (SE) transition line. SOFT EDGE grads lines are used with wide angle and normal focal length lenses. Graduated Neutral Density filters are used to balance exposure within a scene. One very common use is to balance the exposure of sky and earth in a landscape, avoiding overexposed blank white skies.

Schneider Graduated Color filters feature crystal-clear, water-white optical glass, protected against edge-chipping and delamination by Schneiderﾒs unique Edge Seal, which also significantly reduces edge reflections and flare.
