Well suited to photographing sunrises and sunsets, this 2-stop, {size}mm Reverse Hard-Edge Graduated ND Filter from Formatt-Hitech is an ND grad filter with the density of the filter greatest in the middle, tapering off to the edge. By reversing the direction of the standard ND graduated filter, you are able to more accurately control bright horizon lines while retaining exposure in the foreground and sky.

This ND 0.6 filter provides a 2-stop reduction in exposure, and has a hard edge between the density and clear portion of the filter for level, well-defined horizon lines. The filter is constructed from optical resin for both clarity and durability, it measures 1.5mm-thick, and is compatible with Formatt-Hitech 85mm or other Cokin P filter holders.

0.6 Optical Density    Optical Resin Construction    Density Transitions from Center to Edge    Reduce Exposure in Selective Areas    Compatible with Cokin P/85mm Holder

Reverse graduated filter places the most density in the middle of the filter to accommodate bright horizons and other situations where the brightest part of the image lies in the middle of the composition.

The 0.6 density provides a 2-stop reduction in light in selective areas.

Optical resin construction maintains both image clarity and durability.

Compatible with the Formatt-Hitech 85mm or other Cokin P-sized filter holders.

Q: 10. Do people typically buy a large ND filter for this lens if they don't have an internal one? Or do people use a matte boxe instead? Also if I were to use this with the Sony a7rii, would I need a rig?

A: The choice of matte box or screw-in filter is a choice that is up to you and your needs. The fastest, easiest, most compact, most affordable solution is to use a screw-in 95mm ND filter of the strength you need. This works well when you are working by yourself while doing events/wedding/documentaries/corporate/news. If you are doing something like a cinema movie where you have a bit more time or you can pay attention to the image quality to a higher degree, a matte box allows you to use more than one filter, the use of grads, and when you include top and side flaps, much better control of keeping contrast-robbing flare off the front filter. Regarding the Sony a7 R II, this is one of those situations where the camera is mounted to the lens; not vice-versa. You can mount the lens directly to the tripods quick release plate using the lenss foot/handle and then mount the camera to the rear and finally screw-in the filter. You can get a clamp-on matte box for use directly on the lens or if there is more money in the budget you can get a 15mm LWS rig to hold the matte box, the lens and the camera.
