Your cart is empty.This Graduated Filter is specifically made for Cokin P-series. It features a soft edge gradual, with +2 stop on the darkest side, gradually decrease near the center of the filter allowing emphasis of foregrounds or backgrounds. Color of lens gradually fades out, so the boundary between the colored and transparent sections of lens will not become apparent even with the lens aperture stopped down. Each Filter comes with a storage case.

THIS IS THE WORST QUALITY FILTER I HAVE EVER PURCHASED! I PURCHASED THIS A FEW MONTHS AGO BUT JUST TOOK IT OUT TO USE IT SINCE ITS A GORGEOUS DAY AND WHAT DO I FIND, THE ACTUAL FILTER ELEMENT IS NEARLY 1/2 AS THICK AS IT NEEDS TO BE AND IS FLOATING VERY LOOSEL BETWEEN THE RING! THIS IS ATROCIOUS BUILD AND QA QUALITY! TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY!

I would not recommend this filter and will try to return it. Although the filter itself would work to filer the scene as expected, it is extremely tight and difficult to rotate. Then, the fun really begins when you try to remove it! Not an easy task! I expected a more user-friendly piece and am quite disappointed.

When buying a filter as cheap as this, the quality is of course the first question. This filter doesn't feel like a B&W, nor should it, but it does feel reasonably well constructed.My thoughts:-Good overall construction-Good overall optical quality-The transition zone is overall nice, bit i wish it were a tad more gradual.-The strength of the ND area is good, not to much and not too little for a wide variety of situations.-To prevent thread stick, use a q-tip to apply a TINY amount of Vaseline to the threads.I do photo and video, and for video you have to keep in mind is that there are only a few situations where this would be useful, since any camera movement or subject going from top to bottom would make the filter apparently. However for landscape video it can work quite well.If you're thinking of getting a grad ND, i don't see any reason not to grab one of these,

Ansel Adams once said that the supreme test for any photographer is landscape photography. Perhaps he was talking about the difficulty to correctly expose two segments that always require very different exposures: Land and Sky.This filter resolves the dilemma, almost with no penalty to image quality, at least not a perceivable one, for all practical purposes. The difference between the dark and light area of the filter is about two stops (Please correct me, I might be wrong) and that should be enough pretty much for every situation. But it would be nice if the stop differential would be stated on the product. For the price, however, it makes me happy.A great tool for beginners and photographers on a budget!

I did not want to spend a lot on a graduated ND filter as it is my first time using one. I used it extensively on a recent trip to the Shenandoah. It worked great. Easy to put on and remove- it does just what it is supposed to do.

Have used this a bunch for some landscape photos. The only thing I would have liked on it would be a little less depth on the ND. That is, I would have liked the filter effect to not come down quite so far... maybe 30% instead of 50%. I'm not talking about the density of the filter, just how far the effects drops into the photo. Works really well, however. Saves me a bunch of sky darkening in Photoshop.

Optically this filter works quite well. I see NO visible degradation in image quality from it. My biggest beef with the filter is that's quite a struggle to remove it from a lens or another filter. My tiffen and b+w filters don't get nearly as stuck on to things as this one.

One of the hardest things in photography is to expose for both bright skies and foreground shadows. It's usually one or the other: have a nice blue sky and dark shadows or open up for the shadows and blow out the sky. Or you can invoke the HDR electronic tricks available in cameras today where two exposures are taken in rapid succession and the highlights from one are combined with the shadows of the other to increase the dynamic range.This 77mm rotating filter knocks the sky down the old fashioned way -- with smoothly graduated neutral density -- and allows you to open up for the shadows. The effect is stunning, yet it's almost impossible to see that a filter is being used as the graduation is very smooth.I intend to use this especially when shooting video outside, where the subject is in open shade or under a diffuser so he's not blinded and can read the teleprompter, but the background is in full sunlight. Looking forward to doing some time lapse sunsets, too.This filter has the effect of expanding the dynamic range of the camera. HDR and other dynamic range tricks aren't even possible with video, so this filter will be most effective.The filter screws into the 77mm front thread and can still freely rotate so you can position the graduation where you want it. And the lens hood still works too, to control flare. We used to have to use a matte box for this effect. And if you've priced a 4x4 grad, you'll be shocked. Try somewhere between $60 and $150 per filter, plus the clumsy mattebox filter holder and you lose your lens shade, too boot.This Fotodiox rotating grad is a bargain and will come in very handy!
