The Tiffen 4 x 5.65" 2 Grape Soft-Edge Graduated Filter helps to specifically add a cool, purplish coloration to skies and other bright areas of an image while allowing a portion of the image to remain neutrally colored. The filter's coloring is densest at the edge and tapers to clear by the middle, with a soft-edged transition between the density and clear areas. The 2 color density provides less grape coloration than the 3 density, but more than the 1 density filter.

This filter is made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass and grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. It measures 4 x 5.65" / 101.6 x 143.5mm.

Note: A horizontal orientation filter's line of transition runs parallel to the long side of the filter.

2 Density Color Graduated Filter    Grape Coloring in Select Areas    Soft-Step Graduation    ColorCore Technology

Provides a cool purplish coloring to select areas of the image.

Graduated filter design keeps a portion of the image neutral, resulting in a more realistic look while allowing for the sky or other bright areas to take on the color of the density.

Q: 1. is the Lee Grad ND filter 100 x 150 the right size for a Canon 5D MKIII full frame camera L series lens?

A: The LEE 100x150mm filters are square filters that are meant to be used with the LEE Foundation Kit filter holder http://bhpho.to/18XBQeS, which is attached to the filter threads of the lens you are using with the use of the appropriate adapter ring. Many of the Canon L series lenses have different sized filter threads, and you can find the whole collection of adapter rings at the following link to choose the appropriate size for your lenses: http://bhpho.to/1oR1fix

Q: 3. what are filter holder adapters? How do they work?

A: The Lee filter Foundation Kit is a filter holder, which allows the rectangular or square filters to slide in and out easily. In order to attach the filter holder to a lens you must ALSO purchase an adaptor ring. The most common is the LEE Filters Adapter Ring - 77mm. The reason that this is the most common is that most professional lenses have 77mm filter threads. After you screw on the adaptor ring onto the lens, the filter holder clips onto the ring.Photographers purchase an adaptor ring that matches the size of their lens with the largest front filter threads. If you also have lenses with smaller front filter threads, you purchase a step-up ring for each of those lenses. For example, if you have a lens with front filter threads of 52mm, you purchase an inexpensive 52-77mm step-up ring and leave in on your camera so that it's ready for the Lee Filter system. Probably a good idea to purchase a 77mm lens cap, since the 52mm lens cap no longer fits. Step-up filters are very inexpensive, as are generic lens caps. The generic caps are just as sturdy as those that are included with Nikon and Canon lenses.

Q: 6. Can I use a lens hood as well as this filter system, or will I have to forego use of a lens hood?

A: No. Once your put on the filter holder there is no way to screw on the lens hood.

Q: 7. I have the 100 -400 canon lens. what exactly do I need to use this setup? Please be specific. Thank you

A: Hi Patricia,As far as I could research, there are two Canon lenses that fit your description. One has image stabilization (IS) while the other does not. The Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM has a filter diameter of 58mm and would require this: https://a href= http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/14092-REG/Cokin_CP458_P_Series_58mm_Adapter.html target= _blank www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/14092-REG/Cokin_CP458_P_Series_58mm_Adapter.html/aThe Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM has a filter diameter of 67mm and would require this: https://a href= http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/14094-REG/Cokin_CP467_P_Series_67mm_Adapter.html target= _blank www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/14094-REG/Cokin_CP467_P_Series_67mm_Adapter.html/aIf neither of these match the lens you own, then the item you are looking for is a Cokin P Series Filter Holder Adapter Ring in the appropriate size. The kit already includes the filter holder, which simply slides onto the adapter ring. These are nice filters, I've enjoyed them very much so far. Best of luck!

Q: 8. I will use this on a 77mm. Why shouldn't I just get a screw on?

A: What do you do if you get a different lens with a larger diameter? More importantly a screw on doesn't let you adjust for where the horizon is in your composition.

Q: 9. I ordered P series Cokin GND filter. My lens diameter is 77mm Should I order a 77-82mm step up ring to fix on my filter adapter ring? Pls guide!!?

A: The Cokin adapter rings are threaded on one side & have a flange on the other end that slides into the Cokin holder. You need to purchase the Cokin 77mm adapter ring for the P series filter holder.

Q: 10. Is this horizontal or vertical grad ND ?

A: According to Formatt, the grad filters are horizontal.
