Urth Graduated Lens Filter

A 3-stop reduction significantly darkens the bright areas of your frame, such as a midday sky, allowing you to balance that light with a darker foreground. This helps you capture detail in both the highlights and shadows in a single shot, rather than having to choose between a blown-out sky or an underexposed landscape.

A soft graduation provides a subtle, gradual transition between the filtered and unfiltered parts of the image. This is ideal for landscapes with irregular horizons, like mountains or trees, where a hard line would look unnatural and distracting.

This filter is a 72mm screw-in type. To ensure it fits your lens, check the front of your lens barrel or the inside of your lens cap for the diameter symbol (ø) followed by a number; if it says 72mm, this filter will screw directly onto your lens.

Yes, you can stack filters, but be mindful of vignetting. If you use a thick frame or stack multiple filters, you may see dark corners in your images, especially when shooting with wide-angle lenses.

While modern software is powerful, using a physical filter helps you get the exposure right in-camera. This preserves more dynamic range in your raw files and saves you significant time in post-processing by preventing the highlights from clipping beyond recovery.
