Soft GND16 (1.2)

Marumi Soft GND16 (1.2)

The Marumi 100 x 150 Soft Graduated ND16 (1.2) is a Graduated Neutral Density model attachable to the M100 Filter System in a moment via magnetic solid force. Soft GND features a gradual transition between the ND and clear sections. Unlike filters with a sharply defined boundary, Soft GND is ideal for compositions where the boundary between light and dark areas is not straight, such as scenes with mountains or trees like below.

• Certified German quality glass, B270i with high optical performance
• Soft transition area in the middle of the filter adjustable for scenes which have no clear horizon line
• Up to 6.25% transmittance, 4 stops
• Dust and dirt adhered on the surface can be quickly and easily blown off.
• Water-/Oil repellent coating sheds water off simply also by the air blower. Nuisances such as sweats, skin crème, lotion, fingerprint or compounded stain of grease will be wiped off.
• Anti-reflection coating sustains low reflection
• Made in Japan

What do we use a square filter instead of a round screw-in filter for?
When and on which occasion do we need to use Marumi square filter?

Marumi innovative M100 Magnetic Filter System allows you to;
- combine a large variety of GND/ND and Circular Polarizer to enable an overwhelming contrast-driven expressiveness
- shoot with no vignetting even with 16mm wide lens due to the ultra-thin frame structure overlaying ND/GND and Circular Polarizer.
- adjust position of graduation up and down, observing the composition through the optical or electronic viewfinder
- one second-attach/detach filters by magnetic force with no time consuming compared to screw-in filters into thread
- bracket a series of GND/ND and almost all of your lens line-up for DSLRs and Mirrorless at hands.
- keep all-in-one set in a pouch exclusive for M100 (optional) easy carrying
