B+W 52mm Basic ND 50 Graduated MRC (702M) Filter

OVERVIEW

Very well drawn clouds and a strong instead of milky tone in the sky can be achieved with this already stronger graduated filter. It attenuates at its darkest zone by two f-stops (transparency: 25%). This makes it possible to create landscape motifs with very high contrast without loss of detail. The gradient zone leaves some play, but for a natural transition the horizon line should not be too far off center.

The gray gradient is applied by means of thin-layer technology. The special coating process requires a special masking. This is associated with certain manufacturing tolerances, with the result that the graduation boundary is not exactly parallel. Because this transition is outside the focus range, the effect is not visible and there is no static transition.
