Landscape exposure control
The Lee Filters LEE85 85x115mm Neutral Density 0.6 Hard Grad Resin Filter is built for photographers who need to balance bright skies against darker foregrounds in landscape and architectural scenes. Its hard-edge graduation creates a defined transition that suits horizons and other straight dividing lines. The 0.6 density reduces light by two stops in the darkened portion. This filter fits the LEE85 filter holder system.
Optical performance
The resin construction delivers neutral colour rendition while cutting glare from bright skies. Hard grad lines are formulated tighter than standard gradients to compensate for smaller sensor formats. The 0.6 strength darkens the upper frame without shifting white balance or introducing colour casts. Photographers can open the aperture or slow the shutter for creative motion blur while keeping highlights intact.
Handling and mounting
The 85 by 115 millimetre resin sheet slides into the LEE85 holder channels for quick positioning and rotation. Resin resists shattering better than glass if dropped during filter changes in the field. The hard graduation line stays aligned with the horizon when the holder is rotated. No adhesive rings or threaded mounts are required, so the filter works with any lens diameter supported by the holder system.

Questions about this item
How do I mount the 85x115mm filter in the LEE85 holder without the hard grad line tilting?
Insert the resin filter into the front slot of the LEE85 holder with the darker half facing the bright horizon, then rotate the holder on the adapter ring until the hard transition runs parallel to the horizon line; the tight gradation demands precise alignment or the horizon will show a visible step.
What care does the resin surface need over time?
Rinse dust off with lukewarm water, then wipe gently with a microfibre cloth; the resin scratches more easily than glass, so store the filter in its padded pouch and avoid abrasive cleaners that would degrade the neutral density coating.
When does the .6 density stop being enough for bright skies?
The 0.6 filter cuts two stops, so once the sky exceeds roughly two stops above the foreground — common at midday or on snow — the graduated area can no longer balance the exposure and a stronger grad or bracketing becomes necessary.
