Promaster 4184 77mm ND8X ソフトグラデーションフィルター

I used this on a bright beach landscape and it cut the sky exposure perfectly without a harsh line. The 77mm size was an exact fit for my lens and the hard case it came in feels sturdy enough for my bag.

The soft grad transition is so smooth that the sky looks natural in my landscape shots straight out of camera, no fiddling in Lightroom needed. I've had zero color cast issues even with the ND8X density stacked on a wide-angle lens.

Finally got the exposure balance I was chasing for seascapes—the sky and foreground both look natural without any extra editing. The gradation is smooth and subtle enough for most of my sunset shots.
