The LEE85 Neutral Density 0.3 (1 stop) Medium Grad has a moderate gradation between the dark and clear areas of the filter. This allows the photographer to selectively adjust exposure across the frame without affecting Color balance.
The medium gradation is perfect to filter the sky with minimal impact on the land. Ideal when elements like rooftops and mountains protrude into the sky.
LEE's 85mm filters are formulated with harder than usual grad lines to compensate for smaller sensor size and come in a range of strengths denoting the light stopping power of the dark area of the filter - from 1 to 3 stops.
All LEE85 ND Graduated and Standard filters also feature a new grip tab, which increases the visible area and keeps finger prints off of the filter zone.
