Let your photography skills shine with the 49mm Graduated ND 2x Neutral Density Filter, a high-quality and durable accessory designed to enhance your image capturing capabilities. Manufactured by the reputable brand, Heliopan, this filter is known for its effectiveness in controlling exposure and depth of field, making it an essential tool for both professional and amateur photographers. The filter's soft edge, single coated design, and a density of 0.3 (1 stop) work together to reduce the amount of light entering your camera lens. This allows for the use of a wider aperture or slower shutter speed, resulting in brighter, more detailed images with a shallower depth of field. Versatility is another key feature of this filter. Its rounded 49mm size makes it compatible with a wide range of camera lenses, offering you the flexibility to experiment with different photography styles and techniques. Whether you're shooting landscapes, portraits, or action shots, the 49mm Graduated ND 2x Neutral Density Filter can help you achieve the perfect balance of light and depth in your photos. Remember, great photography isn't just about the camera - it's also about the accessories that enhance its functionality. Equip yourself with the 49mm Graduated ND 2x Neutral Density Filter and take your photography to the next level.

The contrast in ground/sky is always a problem for me.....especially when a big sky is desired....this took care of selected situations and I love it...

Just What I Needed

Heliopan light filters are advertised as being constructed using Schott glass (Zeiss). However, when I received this filter its packaging indicated it was made of "Optical-resin". I later learned that not all of Heliopan's light filters are made using glass; graduated ND, special effect types like fog or Zeiss Softars are made from acrylic. Since I was seeking the durability of a glass filter, I returned the product without issue.

This model filter is made of acrylic

I bought this to use on a Nikkor 16-35 f/4 zoom. It's pretty much useless. The zoom has a filter diameter of 77mm, but the actual optical diameter of the front element is significantly smaller. As a result, very little of the darkest gray part of the filter actually covers the lens element, so the effect is negligible. For this lens, at least, a rectangular resin filter is a better option.

Save your money

I am new to ND filters, so that may explain a lot. Too much money for very little effect. I ended up buying the 10 stop and returning this one. Here is bright Miami it wasn't working for me.

Not for me

This filter delivers all that one would hope for. It fits perfectly, is of top quality strength and construction and rotates with a firm ease. It's a beautiful solution to counter "blown out" skies for when landscape shadow details make the money shot! It's versatility makes it a boon for adding interest in unexpected ways while one is composing an image...suppressing unwanted highlights or enriching depth and color in areas other than above the horizon. Don't hesitate in investing in this superb glass!

A Superb Tool!
