Precise exposure control
The LEE85 85x115mm Neutral Density 0.9 Hard Grad Resin Filter delivers a distinct, tight transition between its dark and clear zones. Photographers use it to balance exposure across specific frame areas while preserving natural colour balance. It suits landscape and architectural work where horizons or clear sky-to-ground boundaries exist. The hard gradation compensates for smaller sensor sizes to keep the transition looking seamless.
Neutral Density 0.9 density
The filter provides a .9 density rating that corresponds to a three-stop reduction in the darkened portion. This single figure determines whether the filter matches the scene’s dynamic range. Selecting the correct density ensures the bright area is controlled without over-darkening the rest of the image. The range spans one to three stops so photographers can match conditions precisely.
Consistent performance in changing light
The resin construction maintains its optical properties during extended shooting sessions under bright skies. The hard grad line stays sharp regardless of temperature shifts, so the exposure boundary does not soften unexpectedly. Colour neutrality holds across the frame, preventing unwanted casts during long exposures. The filter behaves reliably from the first shot to the last of the day.

Questions about this item
What does the 0.9 density do to the exposure in the darkened part of the frame?
The 0.9 density reduces exposure by three stops in the dark area while leaving the clear area unaffected, giving precise control over bright skies.
How does the hard gradation differ from a soft grad when used on an 85mm wide filter?
The hard grad has a tight, distinct transition line that suits flat horizons or rooflines, staying sharp even on smaller sensors where a soft grad would spread too wide.
Will this 85 by 115mm resin filter fit my LEE85 filter holder?
Yes, the 85x115mm dimensions match the LEE85 system slots, so it slides straight into the holder without adapters.
