NiSi Soft IR GND(32) 1.5 100x150 Graduated Filter

The NiSi Soft IR GND(32) 1.5 is a 100x150mm graduated neutral density filter designed for landscape and outdoor photographers who need to balance extreme differences in brightness between sky and foreground. With a 1.5 density rating — equivalent to 5 stops of light reduction — the darkened portion of this filter significantly tames bright skies, sunsets, and reflective clouds, while the clear lower half lets the foreground retain full exposure. The soft graduation means the transition zone is wide and feathered, blending naturally across uneven horizons like mountain ridges, treelines, and cityscapes.

Built from 2mm H-K9L high-definition optical glass, this filter prioritizes sharpness and optical clarity. The double-sided anti-glare coating serves a dual purpose: it minimizes flare and ghosting from stray light, and it helps reduce infrared contamination that can introduce unwanted color shifts during long exposures. The 100x150mm rectangular format slides into standard 100mm filter holder systems, giving photographers the ability to raise or lower the graduation line to match the horizon placement in their composition. For serious landscape work where exposure balance is critical, this filter is a reliable tool that delivers consistent, natural-looking results straight from the camera.
