Haida HD4290 Red Diamond 100 x 150mm Hard Reverse Graduated Neutral Density Filter, 2-Stop (0.6)

This 100 x 150mm Red Diamond Hard-Edge Reverse-Graduated Neutral Density Filter from Haida is compatible with the Haida M10 and M10 Pro Filter Holder. It can be applied to darken bright skies, specifically during a sunrise or sunset, while allowing for a normal, unaffected exposure in the other regions of the image.

Haida Red Diamond filters are constructed from shock-resistant optical glass. To prevent internal ghosting and reflections, while further enhancing clarity and color fidelity, each glass surface includes 10 layers of anti-reflective nano coatings. An additional 10 scratch-resistant hydrophobic coatings further protect the filter’s substrate and result in an improved beading effect when its surfaces come in contact with water or oil, allowing for more efficient cleaning. Additionally, Haida Red Diamond filters feature rounded edges for easier placement within a compatible filter holder slot.

A metallic case for storage and transport is included, as well as a light-blocking gasket. This gasket forms a seal that is intended to prevent stray light, which could have unwanted effects on exposure, from coming in between the filter and the lens behind it.

Key Features

• Compatible with Haida M10 or M10 Pro Filter Holder
• Effectively darkens bright skies, specifically during a sunrise or sunset, while allowing for a normal, unaffected exposure in the other regions of the image
• Band of density extends approximately 15mm in both vertical directions
• Density pattern corresponds to the brightness pattern of the sun when it appears at or is closer to the horizon as opposed to a higher angle, which creates an increase in brightness that is more prominent on both sides of the sun than above it
• Hard-edged line of transition between the band of density and the clear area below it is useful for hard transitions between the sky and land
• Filter does not affect the overall coloration of the image
• Shock-resistant optical glass construction
• 10 layers of anti-reflective nano coatings on each glass surface prevent internal ghosting and reflections, while further enhancing clarity and color fidelity
• 10 additional scratch-resistant hydrophobic coatings on each glass surface further protect the filter substrate and result in an improved beading effect when in contact with water or oil for greater cleaning efficiency
• Rounded edges for easier placement within a compatible filter holder slot
• When combined with a compatible filter holder, included gasket helps to prevent light from coming in between the filter and the lens behind it, which can have an unwanted effect on exposure
• Metallic filter case for storage and transport
