K&F Concept ND16 55mm Graduated ND Filter

K &F Concept Nano-X graduated ND filter. A smooth transition between neutral and dark areas allows you to balance exposure in areas that would be 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 Nano-X series filters are based on Japanese optical glass with a very low reflectivity of 1.5%. Their lenses are ground and polished many times, which guarantees the highest image quality, full of details and free of accidental reflections. Additional nano-coatings protect the glass surface against chips or scratches, and also have a hydrophobic function. As a result, no streaks of water or oil remain on the filter, and all dirt is 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

Gray graduated filters are one of the most valued photographic accessories, used both on a film set and during photo sessions. When working outdoors, it is very common to darken part of the frame to get the correct exposure of the shot. Soft-graduated filters have a smooth transition between the reduced and neutral areas, so the final effect in the photo feels natural. At the same time, the lenses remain neutral in color, thanks to which the colors captured by the camera are saturated and contrasting exactly as they are in real life.
