Haida NanoPro MC 75x100mm Hard Grad ND 1.2X (16) camera filter

Haida NanoPro Hard Grad ND 1.2X Filter

The Haida NanoPro MC 75x100mm Hard Grad ND 1.2X (16) is a rectangular neutral density filter made from multi-coated glass. It provides a hard graduation to balance exposure between bright skies and darker foregrounds. The Nano multicoating resists dirt, smudges, water, and oil while maintaining high light transmission. It is designed for photographers needing precise light control in high-contrast scenes.

Suited for unobstructed horizon landscapes

This filter suits landscape and seascape photographers working with clear, unobstructed horizon lines where a hard transition is required. The 1.2X density reduces light by approximately four stops for the bright portion of the frame. It is not intended for scenes with irregular horizons such as mountains or cityscapes where a soft or medium grad would blend more naturally. Photographers needing different density strengths or filter sizes should look at other options.

Four-stop reduction for bright sky areas

The ND 1.2X (16) designation indicates a 16x filter factor, cutting roughly four stops of light on the graduated half. This capacity handles bright midday skies over darker land or water effectively. It runs out when the dynamic range of the scene exceeds the filter's fixed transition density or when the horizon line is too complex for a hard edge. The 75x100mm format fits compatible filter holder systems for precise positioning.
