Lee Filters LEE85 85x115mm Neutral Density 0.6 Medium Grad Resin camera filter

Lee Filters LEE85 85x115mm ND 0.6 Medium Grad

The Lee Filters LEE85 is an 85x115mm neutral density graduated filter built for landscape photographers who need to balance bright skies with darker foregrounds. Its medium graduation provides a smooth transition between the filtered and clear zones. The resin construction keeps the filter lightweight while maintaining optical quality. It suits shooters working with smaller sensor formats where harder grad lines are preferred.

Behaviour under sustained outdoor use

The neutral density 0.6 rating reduces exposure by two stops in the darkened portion without shifting colour balance. The medium gradation handles scenes where elements such as rooftops or mountains rise into the sky, allowing selective exposure control across the frame. Harder grad lines compensate for smaller sensors, delivering consistent density transition regardless of crop factor. Performance remains stable during extended sessions in changing light.

Grip tab handling and resin durability

A new grip tab extends the usable surface area, letting you insert or remove the filter without touching the optical zone. This design reduces fingerprints and smudges that would otherwise require frequent cleaning in the field. Resin material resists shattering better than glass if dropped on rocky terrain. The 85x115mm dimensions fit the LEE85 filter holder system for secure, vignetting-free mounting.
