Benro 100x150mm Master Hardened Glass Soft Graduated 1.2 ND Filter, 4 Stop

Because capturing the perfect shot often involves dealing with challenging light conditions, the 100x150mm Master Hardened Glass Soft Graduated 1.2 ND Filter, 4 Stop, is an essential tool for professional photographers. This high-quality, durable filter from Benro, a trusted name in photography equipment, helps to balance the light ratio in scenes with significant differences in brightness, ensuring neither overexposure nor underexposure.

The soft gradient of this versatile neutral density filter allows for a slow, linear transition of light, providing a more natural blending of bright and dark areas in your images. This makes it an ideal choice for landscape and architectural photography, where the contrast between sky and foreground can be stark.

Constructed from Schott B270 optical glass, this filter is twice as strong as standard glass filters, offering enhanced durability and resistance to scratching and breakage. It can withstand twice the peak pressure of conventional glass filters, making it a reliable choice for photographers working in challenging environments.

The filter's HD optical technology ensures crisp, sharp images, while its precise grinding and polishing guarantee that light enters the lens and reaches the sensor in a straight line, maximizing image quality. The B270 optical glass is processed with meticulous grinding and polishing, ensuring a stable inner structure that won't affect image sharpness, even at long focal lengths.

The filter also features an Anti-Infrared Coating and Low Color Shift technology. These IR and UV reduction coatings help maintain faithful color rendition, eliminating errant blue or warm tone color shifts caused by unwanted infrared and UV light. Ultra-low chromatic aberration coatings dramatically reduce the unnatural colors that can often occur in high contrast transitions between highlights and shadows.

Finally, the double-sided water and oil coating of this filter acts as a protective layer, repelling water and dirt much like a lotus leaf. This ensures the filter remains clean and clear, ready to help you capture stunning images in any conditions.
