LEE Filters Neutral Density 0.6 Soft Graduated Filter 100x150mm (2-Stop)

Balancing bright skies with darker foregrounds is a constant challenge in landscape photography. The LEE Filters ND 0.6 Soft Graduated Filter solves this by smoothly transitioning from a 2-stop neutral density coating to clear, allowing you to retain detail in both highlights and shadows without complex post-processing.

Who is it for

Landscape and outdoor photographers who shoot high-contrast scenes—sunrises, sunsets, coastal vistas, and mountain ranges—and demand precise exposure control in-camera. It fits photographers already using the LEE Filters 100mm system holder.

Main features

• Soft-edge graduation blends seamlessly into the scene, ideal for uneven horizons or elements that cross the transition line.
• 2-stop (0.6 density) light reduction darkens bright skies while preserving foreground exposure.
• Neutral colour balance ensures no unwanted colour cast, maintaining natural tones.
• Made from high-quality optical resin (CR-39) for durability and optical clarity.
• Rectangular 100 x 150 mm format slides into standard 100mm filter holders.
• Uncoated surface is easy to clean and resistant to everyday handling.

Tips

Position the transition line carefully using your holder's adjustment slots. For scenes with a defined horizon, align the soft edge just above the horizon to avoid darkening foreground subjects. Always meter for the foreground before inserting the filter, then adjust exposure by 2 stops or use your camera's histogram to confirm balanced exposure.
