Rollei F:X Pro Gray Filter ND8 Round
In order to be able to travel even more flexibly and compactly, Rollei now also offers the F:X Pro Gray Graduated Filter Soft GND8 as a round filter. GND stands for graduated neutral density. Just like the rectangular filter F:X Pro Soft GND8, the round filter has a smooth gradient. With the help of this filter you can easily compensate for brightness differences in your image.
However, since the gradient of the round filter cannot be shifted as it is possible with the rectangular filter by sliding it up and down within the filter holder, Rollei has equipped the F:X Pro Soft GND8 round filter with a rotating ring. In this way, the gradient can be adjusted on the axis of rotation.
The new F:X Pro Round Filter Soft GND8 is thus an ideal addition to your photo bag if you still want to be able to compensate for brightness differences in the image with compact luggage. This filter is simply screwed onto your lens and offers you this flexibility!
For these motifs you can use GNDS:
- Rugged mountain landscapes
- Wooded areas
- Subjects without a clearly defined horizon
Unlike normal ND filters, Soft GND filters are used for subjects where the brightness conditions have a gradient and therefore require a soft transition for an evenly exposed image. For example, the ideal location for a Soft GND would be a mountain landscape where the lighting conditions cause the foreground of the image to appear darker than the background - but where the horizon line is not particularly well defined. Such a scenario can be fantastically compensated for by the Soft Graduated Gray Filter.
The Soft GND 8 has a density of 0.9 and an aperture stop of 3 stops. One stop means that the amount of light incident on the sensor is reduced by one f-stop at a time.
ROBUST GRAY SHADE ROUND FILTER
To give you products you can enjoy for a long time, the filters are made of Gorilla® glass. Thanks to a special manufacturing process, it is legendarily resistant and at the same time guarantees extremely high light transmission and color neutrality. The anti-scratch layer gives the filter glass the final hardness against mechanical impact and ensures that even dirt caused by grease, water or mud can be removed quickly and effortlessly.
But the GND round filters are not only scratch-resistant - they are also temperature-resistant. Rollei has tested them under the highest quality standards in scorching heat and also bone-chilling cold. In short: They are the best filters Rollei has ever built.
