Designed to balance the overall exposure within a high-contrast scene, the 85 x 110mm Hard-Edge Graduated ND Filter from Formatt-Hitech is ideal for situations involving both bright and dark areas, such as an open sky and shadowed foreground. Half of the filter has 0.6 neutral density and the other half is clear, with a hard-edged transition between the two that is ideally suited for use with long focal length lenses or when there is a defined, uninterrupted horizon, such as a seascape. By reducing the exposure in selective areas, you are able to balance the overall exposure of the scene in order to gain detail in both bright and dark areas.

This filter is constructed from lightweight, durable optical resin, which is also designed to maintain image clarity and not affect the overall color balance of the scene. It measures 3.3 x 4.3" / 85 x 110 mm, is 1.5mm thick, and is suitable for use in 85mm filter holders.

Q: 8. Does this lens have hard stops in manual focus mode?

A: The lens has yet to be released so the final answers regarding all focus features is not yet known. The lens is not mechanically parfocal and relies on the auto focus mechanism to maintain focus. This is from a Sony lens designer. Therefore it appears to be focus by wire and that the focus ring is telling the motor where to go and once you set the focus, the lens will maintain the focus electronically. Sony has addressed many cine issues such as breathing, parfocal focus, and axial shift all in a constant aperture lens with excellent zoom range for its intended camera for an excellent price. We shall see soon how this lens does.
