Lee Filters Neutral Density 0.6 Graduated Filter Very Hard Edge 100x150mm Resin

Lee 0.6 Graduated ND Filter

This Lee Filters Neutral Density 0.6 Graduated Filter uses a very hard edge transition to balance bright skies with darker foregrounds. The resin filter measures 100x150mm and reduces exposure by two stops across the graduated portion. It is designed for landscape photographers who need precise horizon control with normal to longer focal lengths. The neutral density section maintains colour fidelity while darkening highlights.

Upgrading from softer transitions

Photographers using soft-edge graduated filters on standard or telephoto lenses often see a feathered transition that extends too far into the frame. The very hard edge on this 0.6 density filter confines the change to a narrow band, matching the abrupt horizon lines typical of longer lenses. The jump is worth it when the scene has a clean, straight dividing line between sky and land. Wide-angle shooters should note the transition may appear too abrupt for their field of view.

Behaviour under sustained use

The resin construction resists colour shift during long shooting sessions under bright daylight. Graduated density remains consistent across the 150mm height, so the two-stop reduction stays accurate from the first frame to the last. Surface reflections are minimal, reducing flare when the sun sits just outside the frame. The filter slides smoothly in a 100mm filter holder without binding during repeated adjustments.
