The Tiffen 5 x 6" Blue 5 Soft Edge Graduated Filter is a soft-edged graduated color filter providing a bluish color across the image, giving a cooling effect for your photographs. The 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. The 5 density provides less of a blue cast than the 4 density filter.

Tiffen filters are 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. This filter measures 5 x 6" / 127 x 152.4mm and features a horizontal orientation; meaning the filter's line of transition runs parallel to the long side of the filter.

Q: 10. I have the LEE 100mm foundation kit with the 105mm CPL. Can I use this Hitech filter in front of my CPL - And then thread the CPL filter on to this graduated filter?

A: No, this filter rotates like the polarizer. It'll be too hard to see the effect of the ND moving around and the polarizer moving. I found it hard enough to see the effect of the 2 stop ND thru my lens in dawn light. I had to put a mark on the metal ring to see where the center of the top of the filter is so I could quickly set up the shot.
