Haida Red Diamond Soft-Edge Graduated ND Filter (150 x 170mm, 5-Stop)

This 5-stop, 150 x 170mm Red Diamond Soft-Edge Graduated ND Filter from Haida is compatible with a Haida 150 Filter Holder. It helps to darken specific areas of an image, such as bright skies, while allowing for a normal, unaffected exposure in the other regions of the image. The filter is densest at the edge and tapers to clear by the middle, with a soft-edged line of transition between the dense and clear areas. A neutral density filter with a soft-edged line of transition is able to filter the sky while minimising its effect on the land. It is particularly useful where the transition between sky and foreground is indeterminate, such as images featuring mist, fog, or the tops of trees. Neutral density filters do not affect the colouration of the image and this filter provides up to a 5-stop reduction in light from entering a lens.

Haida Red Diamond filters are constructed from shock-resistant optical glass. To prevent internal ghosting and reflections, while further enhancing clarity and colour fidelity, each glass surface includes 10 layers of antireflective nano coatings. An additional 10 scratch-resistant hydrophobic coatings further protect a Haida Red Diamond filter's substrate and result in an improved beading effect when its surfaces come in contact with water or oil, allowing for more efficient cleaning. Additionally, Haida Red Diamond filters feature rounded edges for easier placement within a compatible filter holder slot.

A fabric filter pouch for storage and transport is included, as well as a light-blocking gasket. This gasket forms a seal that is intended to prevent stray light, which could have unwanted effects on exposure, from coming in between the filter and the lens behind it.

This filter is compatible with a Haida 150 Filter Holder.

Darken bright areas of an image, such as skies, while leaving the remainder of the frame unaffected.

Gradation provides up to a 5-stop reduction of light in selective areas.

Filter features a soft-edged line of transition between the dense and clear areas.

Useful for images where the transition between sky and foreground is indeterminate, such as images featuring mist, fog, or the tops of trees.

Filter does not affect the overall colouration of the image.
