Overview
Key Features
【Soft GND8 Filter for Cinematic Sky Shots】 3 Stop (0.9) Soft Graduated Neutral Density Filter(GND8) is designed to achieve a balanced image exposure. By reducing the contrast betweenhighlights and shadow areas, it allows you to balance the exposure and the light proportion betweenthe sky and the ground for cinematic sky shots
【Reduce Light & Reflection】The GND8 filter can also reduce the amount of light entering your camera sensor by 3 stops to slower the shutter speed for long exposure shots and motion blur, well suited for landscape photography, such as shooting running water
【HD Optical Glass with Multiple Resistant Nano Coatings】 With high quality HD optical glass and 30 layers of nano coatings on the both side of the filter, the reflectivity can reach less than 1.5% to reduce flare and ghosting. Protect the filter from water, oil, dust, and scratches
【Ultra Slim Aluminum Alloy Frame】 Made of CNC machined aluminum alloy, the ultra slim frame largely eliminates vignetting and dark corners when mounted on a wide angle lens. The durable filter is lightweight and won’t add noticeable weight when mounted on your camera lens
【Choose the Right Filter Size】This series of this GND filters set comes in different sizes. The 58mm filter can only work with 58mm camera lens. Please make sure that your camera lens filter thread and the 58mm filter set match (confirm the "Φ58" symbol on your lens)

Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- 30-layer nano coating on both sides effectively reduces flare, ghosting, and reflections
- HD optical glass maintains image sharpness across the filtered and unfiltered zones
- Ultra-slim CNC-machined aluminum frame minimizes vignetting on wide-angle lenses
- Soft graduation provides a natural-looking transition that works well with uneven horizon lines
- Water-repellent and scratch-resistant coating makes field cleaning easier
👎 Cons
- Fixed graduated position cannot be adjusted up or down like a rectangular drop-in filter system
- 58mm thread size only fits lenses with a matching 58mm filter thread
- Soft transition may not provide enough separation for scenes with a perfectly flat, distinct horizon
- Circular design means the graduation line is always centered across the middle of the frame
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the "soft" graduation mean on this GND8 filter?
The soft graduation means the transition from the dark (filtered) area to the clear area is gradual and feathered rather than a hard line. This produces a natural-looking blend, which is ideal for uneven horizons like mountain ranges or cityscapes.
How many stops of light does this filter reduce?
The GND8 provides 3 stops (0.9 density) of light reduction in the graduated area, which is enough to balance a bright sky against a darker foreground in most daylight landscape conditions.
Will this filter cause vignetting on wide-angle lenses?
The ultra-slim aluminum alloy frame is specifically designed to minimize vignetting on wide-angle lenses. However, on extremely wide focal lengths, some slight corner darkening may still occur depending on the lens.
Can I stack this filter with other filters like a UV or polarizer?
You can stack it with other 58mm filters, though stacking multiple filters increases the risk of vignetting on wider focal lengths. The slim frame design helps reduce this issue compared to standard-thickness filters.
Does this filter affect image sharpness or color?
The HD optical glass with 30 layers of nano coating is designed to maintain sharpness and minimize color shift. The multi-layer coating also reduces reflectivity to below 1.5%, which helps prevent flare and ghosting.
