Benro Master MHND2561010 100x150mm Hard Edge GND ND256 8-Stop Filter

The Benro Master MHND2561010 is a high-quality rectangular graduated neutral density filter designed for professional landscape photographers. Part of the Master Series, this filter features a hard edge graduation, providing a sharp transition between the dark and clear areas, ideal for scenes with a distinct horizon line.
