K&F Concept Nano-X ND16 58mm Soft Graduated ND Filter

Graduated Graduated ND filter by K&F Concept Nano-X. A soft transition between neutral and dark areas allows you to balance exposure in areas that are at risk of overexposure and achieve a natural image. The optical density at the darkest point is ND16x (ND1.2), which corresponds to 4 aperture divisions. The filter diameter is 58 mm.

The Nano-X filter series is based on Japanese optical glass with a very low reflectivity of 1.5%. During the production stage, the lenses are ground and polished many times, which guarantees the highest image quality, full of details and free of accidental reflections. Additional nano-coatings also protect them against chips or scratches and have a hydrophobic function. As a result, no streaks of water or oil remain on the filter, and all small impurities are easy to remove. In addition to excellent image quality, K&F Concept's filters do not affect the contrast or color of the scene and faithfully reproduce natural, saturated colors.

A graduated ND filter is made of two rings screwed on top of each other, which can be rotated relative to each other. Their aluminum and electro-blackened frames are covered with numerous grooves to facilitate work in difficult weather conditions or when using gloves. The relatively low thickness of the filters of 5.3 mm means that they can also be used with wide-angle lenses, zooms and full-frame cameras. They are also threaded on both sides, which allows the installation of a sun visor or cap.

Use

A ND filter allows you to balance your exposure so that you can work with a wide aperture or take advantage of a slower shutter speed. The half-density filter affects only the part of the frame, allowing exposure compensation only in sensitive areas - e.g. in the sky or water. The soft transition between neutral and dark areas makes the final effect in the photo feel natural. Most importantly, the K&F Concept Nano-X filters are colour neutral, so the colours captured by the camera are saturated and contrasting exactly as they are in real life.
