The 49mm Hard Graduated ND8 Lens Filter from Urth is a high-quality screw filter specifically designed for photographers and videographers. This neutral density filter reduces the amount of light hitting the sensor without affecting color balance. With a filter strength of ND8, it allows for a reduction in light intensity by three stops, which is particularly useful for achieving longer exposure times in bright lighting conditions or for opening the aperture to achieve a shallow depth of field. The hard graduated transition of the filter ensures that the effect is smoothly and evenly integrated into the image, making it ideal for landscape photography and scenes with strong contrast. The filter is made from durable materials to ensure a long lifespan and can be easily screwed onto the lens. With this filter, creative effects can be achieved and image quality improved, making it an essential tool for any photographic kit.
