K&F Concept ND8 52mm Graduated ND Filter

Gray soft graduated filter by K&F Concept with a diameter of 52 mm. The ND8x (ND0.9) value corresponds to a reduction in the light reaching the sensor by 3 f-stops, and the smooth transition between the darkened and neutral areas makes the recorded scene natural and properly exposed.

The Nano-X filter series is distinguished by the highest quality optical glass, which is repeatedly ground and polished on both sides, as well as reinforced with numerous anti-reflective and protective nano-coatings . This makes them extremely resistant to cracks and scratches, as well as water and oil stains. On the other hand, all small impurities or dust particles can be easily removed from them. 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.

The Nano-X graduated filters consist of two rings screwed on top of each other, so the user can easily maneuver the darkened area. Aluminium and electro-blackened frames are covered with numerous grooves to facilitate work in difficult weather conditions or with gloves. The relatively small thickness of the filters of 5.3 mm means that they can also be used by users of wide-angle lenses and full-frame cameras. They are also threaded on both sides, which allows the installation of a sun visor or cap.

Use

Half-gray filters are an invaluable help for every photographer or video creator who works outdoors more often than in a photo studio. In order to get the correct exposure of the shot, very often only a selected area in the frame should be darkened - most often it is the sky or water. Soft filters are characterized by a smooth transition between the area covered by reduction and neutral, thanks to which the final effect on the photo gives the impression of a natural one. The K&F Concept Nano-X filter with an ND8x value is an excellent solution for almost any situation when we want to balance the overexposed area, e.g. by extracting the structure of clouds. At the same time, it remains color-neutral, thanks to which the colors captured by the camera are saturated and contrasting exactly as they are in real life.
