Benro MAGND16S1015 4-Stop Graduated ND Filter 100x150mm

The Benro MAGND16S1015 is a 4-stop soft-edge graduated neutral density filter built from Schott B270 German optical glass — a material chosen for its exceptional clarity, flatness, and resistance to ghosting. At 100x150mm, it fits standard 100mm filter holder systems and provides a smooth gradation from 4 stops of light reduction at the top to fully clear at the bottom. This makes it an essential tool for landscape photographers who need to balance a bright sky against a darker foreground without resorting to HDR bracketing or post-processing exposure blending.

What sets this filter apart from more basic graduated ND options is its triple-layer coating system. The ULCA multi-coating reduces flare and chromatic aberration while maintaining an average light transmission above 99% in the visible spectrum (420–680nm). The IRND coating addresses a common frustration with ND filters — infrared contamination that introduces unwanted color casts — by blocking IR and UV wavelengths for true-to-life color accuracy. Finally, the NANO WMC coating provides practical on-location benefits: it resists scratches and repels water, dust, and oily fingerprints, so the filter stays clean and protected during extended outdoor shoots. The soft-edge transition is designed to look natural in the final image, blending gradually enough to avoid a visible line across the frame.
