The SEAGULL DHG Graduated Neutral Density Filter ND8 52mm is a high-quality optical filter designed for landscape photographers who need to balance exposure between bright skies and darker foregrounds. This filter reduces light transmission by 3 stops (ND8), allowing for more balanced and detailed images. Part of the renowned DHG series, it features advanced multi-coating for water and oil repellency, anti-reflection, and scratch resistance. The soft-edge graduation ensures natural-looking transitions, making it ideal for scenes with uneven lighting.
