B + W 62mm Basic 702M 0.6 2-Stop MRC Graduated Neutral Density Filter

Before you capture that stunning landscape shot, consider enhancing your image with the 62mm Basic 702M 0.6 2-Stop MRC Graduated Neutral Density Filter. This high-quality filter is designed to bring professional-level control to your photography, allowing you to achieve beautifully balanced exposures even in challenging lighting conditions. With its 2-stop light reduction capability, this filter expertly attenuates the brightest zones, such as the sky, by 50%, ensuring that your images retain detail and dynamic range without the risk of overexposure.

Crafted with a durable, high-quality glass substrate, the B+W ND filter 702 maintains absolute plano-parallelism and is finely polished for long-lasting optical clarity that surpasses easily scratched plastic alternatives. The effective medium edge gradient provides a smooth transition from the neutral gray half to the clear filter half, allowing for a natural blend between the sky and the landscape. This versatility is essential for photographers aiming to capture the true essence of a scene without artificial effects.

The filter's multi-resistant coating (MRC) is a standout feature, significantly reducing reflections and glare to ensure that your images are crisp and clear. The rotatable mount on threaded filters enables precise horizontal alignment, giving you the flexibility to adjust the position of the gradient for the perfect shot.

In use, the B+W graduated ND filter is indispensable for balancing a bright sky against a darker foreground, a common scenario in landscape photography. To achieve the ideal exposure, metering should be done with the camera or hand-held exposure meter pointed towards the ground that is to be correctly exposed without the filter. This method typically yields the desired effect with minimal adjustment needed for the absorption in the dense part of the filter.

Additional Information: The gray gradient of this filter is meticulously applied using advanced thin-layer technology. While the special coating process involves certain manufacturing tolerances, resulting in a graduation boundary that may not be perfectly parallel, this slight irregularity is outside the focus range and does not affect the visual impact of your photographs. The seamless transition ensures there is no discernible line in your final image, allowing you to capture the world as it truly appears, with all its natural beauty and contrast intact.
