This 4 x 5.65" Cokin NUANCES Z-Pro Series Soft-Edge Graduated ND Filter is designed for use with a Cokin Z-Pro Series Filter Holder. It helps to darken specific areas of an image, such as bright skies, while allowing for a normal, unaffected exposure in the other regions of the image. The filter is densest at the edge and tapers to clear by the middle, with a soft-edged line of transition between the dense and clear areas. Neutral density filters do not affect the coloration of the image and this filter provides up to a 3-stop reduction in light from entering a lens.

Cokin NAUNCES filters are constructed from tempered Schott B270 glass and feature nano-metallic alloy film coatings on both sides of the filter surface to attenuate infrared light and maintain true color fidelity even when stacked with other Cokin NUANCES filters. Multi-layered coatings further help to reduce surface reflections for increased contrast and clarity.

  Q: 1. Works for sony 24-70 mm?

  A: Depends which 24-70 you are referring to. Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II Lens accepts 82mm filters so this 67mm filter won't work.

  Q: 2. Are the Cokin 4-color filters made of glass or plastic/resin?

  A: The P series filters like these would be comprised of resin.

  Q: 3. Does this have a hard stop on it or does it rotate a full 360+?

  A: The stops are indicated on the filter, however there is no pushback or hard stop as you rotate the ring.

  Q: 4. Do I need an additional accessory to use this on my Sony 70-200 f2.8 GMII?

  A: No, the PolarPro 77mm Peter McKinnon Signature Edition II Variable ND 1.8 to 2.7 Filter (6 to 9-Stop) will screw onto the Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II Lens directly.

  Q: 5. Work for Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 Lens?

  A: Yes, the K&F Concept Nano-X Pro Variable ND2-ND400 Filter (49mm, 1-9 Stop) will work on the Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 Lens.

  Q: 6. What's the difference between this filter and the seemingly identical Edition I version, which is $50 cheaper right here at B&H?

  A: The version II has haptic feedback, so each stop has a click to notify you when you've reached the desired stop without really looking. It comes in a much smaller, eco-friendly package, a newly designed defender case and the trim is a little bit more gold. Optically there really isn't a difference. I have the original 2-5 and the newer 6-9 and the image is identical. Different color shifts but it's almost non-existant. Hopefully this helps!

  Q: 7. What is the weight in grams of just the filer itself (no lens cap)?

  A: The K&F Concept Nano X-Pro HD Variable ND2-400 Filter (82mm) weighs about 1.6 ounces which is about 45 grams.

  Q: 8. Will any Cokin P-sized adapter ring (i.e 52 mm) fit on this Cokin EVO filter holder or does it require a special EVO adapter?

  A: Yes

  Q: 9. Will the lens hood of Sony 70-200 GMII fit over the filter?

  A: No, the PolarPro 77mm Peter McKinnon Signature Edition II Variable ND 1.8 to 2.7 Filter (6 to 9-Stop) will not fit the Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II Lens with a lens hood.

  Q: 10. Why would one choose 2-5 over 6-9 or vice versa? If I can only choose one which one would it be and why?

  A: It all depends on what you are shooting, the type of lens you have and the lighting conditions, etc... If you have a very fast lens and it is very bright outside, then the 6-9 is more appropriate.
