H&Y K-series HD MRC Soft GND Filter ND1.5
The 100 x 150 mm K-series Soft-Edge Graduated Neutral Density 1.5 filter from H&Y Filters is a rectangular filter that helps darken specific parts of an image, such as a bright sky, while keeping the exposure in the rest of the image normal and unchanged. The filter is densest at the edge and tapers to transparent in the centre, with a soft transition line between the dense and transparent areas. A graduated neutral density filter with a soft transition line is particularly well suited to images without a strongly defined boundary between the sky and the foreground. Graduated neutral density filters do not affect the colour rendering of the image, and this filter reduces light transmission by up to 5 stops.
The 100 x 150 mm K-series Soft-Edge Graduated Neutral Density filters are made from Gorilla Glass for enhanced scratch resistance, increased clarity, and colour fidelity. Each side of this filter features eight layers of anti-reflection coating to prevent internal ghosting and reflections, as well as an anti-smudge nano-coating for an improved water- and oil-repellent effect, making cleaning more efficient.
The 100 x 150 mm K-series Soft-Edge Graduated Neutral Density 1.5 filter comes with a pre-mounted H&Y Filters 100 x 150 mm Quick Release magnetic filter frame for use with an H&Y Filters 100 mm K-series filter holder. When combined with a 100 mm K-series filter holder featuring two magnetic filter slots, filters with a quick-release magnetic filter frame can be magnetically stacked in front of the camera lens rather than being inserted into a limited number of slots. This allows the user to decide how many filters to use, which can then be quickly installed, repositioned, or swapped for other filters depending on the subject or lighting conditions.
The rulers on the sides of this quick-release magnetic filter frame allow the 100 x 150 mm graduated neutral density filter to be precisely positioned relative to other filters stacked on top of it. This is a valuable addition to the use of the 100 x 150 mm graduated neutral density filter, whose effect can be adjusted to changing lighting conditions or creative requirements by moving the filter up or down. The quick-release magnetic filter frame also reinforces the edges of the 100 x 150 mm graduated neutral density filter, improving the rigidity of the filter and promoting sharp results by keeping the filter lying flat. A filter pouch for storage and transport, as well as a microfibre cloth for filter maintenance, are also included.
