Exceptional GND filter from Breakthrough Photography

By MIKE R.

Just received Breakthrough Photography 100x150 GND from Adorama. Item arrived on time. I’ve used the filter a couple of times and the color true quality of the filter is as advertised- Exceptional!

For professional photographers seeking to enhance their outdoor shots, the 100x150mm 2-Stop Hard X4 Graduated Neutral Density Filter is an essential tool. This high-quality filter, crafted from durable SCHOTT B270 optical glass made in Germany, is the world's sharpest and most color-neutral GND, guaranteed to deliver superior results.

A Graduated Neutral Density (GND) filter is a rectangular filter designed to increase your camera's dynamic range. It's a game-changer for capturing sunsets, transforming photographs from having blown-out highlights to ones with incredible dynamic range, all achieved in-camera, without the need for Photoshop, stacking multiple frames, or HDR.

The challenge outdoor photographers often face is the dynamic range. While the human eye can perceive over 20-stops, a mid-day outdoor scene may range between 15-18 stops. Professional camera systems range between 12-14 stops. This is where the X4 GND filter comes in, bridging the gap and expanding your camera's dynamic range.

The X4 GND filter works by decreasing highlight zones, similar to how the Zone System by Ansel Adams works in the darkroom. This allows you to capture the long exposure component often central to the best sunset scenes, without resorting to post-processing techniques such as HDR.

The X4 GND filter is a new generation of GND, introducing a new era of durability and resolving power. It's the world's first tempered glass GND, offering incredible durability. The optical surface does not degrade over time or with exposure to corrosive elements such as salt water and sand, common conditions for outdoor photographers. This impressive structural hardness also prevents warping, a common issue with traditional resin filters.

Each X4 GND filter is coated with state-of-the-art MRC16 and nanotec coatings technology on both sides of the optical surface. This reduces surface reflection and makes handling and cleaning the surface of the glass easy. The nanotec coatings also let the X4 GND glide smoothly in the holder. The edges of each X4 GND are then milled down smooth and an outer-layer of protective coating is applied along the edge of the glass.

Each X4 GND comes with a protective diamond case. These cases are durable, easy to use, and prevent damage when in your bag. They also have unique colors so you can easily identify which filter you're using. With the 100x150mm 2-Stop Hard X4 Graduated Neutral Density Filter, you're investing in a versatile, efficient, and professional tool that will elevate your photography to new heights.
