B + W Filter Company 58mm Basic 701M 0.3 1-Stop MRC Graduated Neutral Density Filter camera filter

SKU CH-533K-532X8

58mm graduated neutral density filter darkens bright skies by 0.3 density for balanced landscape exposures with rotatable mount for precise alignment

  • Balances bright skies with darker foregrounds using a .3 neutral-density gradient
  • Uniform transition from gray to clear prevents harsh lines in landscape shots
  • Rotatable 58mm mount allows precise horizontal alignment of the gradient
  • Schott glass substrate with MRC coating resists scratches and maintains optical clarity
  • Made in Germany for reliable performance with both analog and digital cameras

58mm Graduated ND Filter for Balanced Exposure

The B + W Filter Company 58mm Basic 701M 0.3 1-Stop MRC Graduated Neutral Density Filter darkens part of the frame by one f-stop without shifting colour. Its uniform gradient runs from edge to centre for a smooth transition between bright and dark areas. A rotatable mount lets you align the horizon precisely. Made in Germany from plano-parallel glass, it suits both analogue and digital cameras.

Landscape photographers needing sky-to-ground

Shooters who want to preserve a vibrant blue sky while exposing the foreground correctly will benefit. The single-stop density is fixed, so photographers who need variable or stronger reduction should consider other options. It also does not suit creative effects that require coloured or special-effect filtration.

58mm thread with 0.3 density gradient

The filter fits lenses with a 58mm front thread and provides a 0.3 optical density step, equivalent to one f-stop of light reduction on the grey half. This specification determines whether the filter matches your lens diameter and the exposure correction you require.

Questions about this item

What does the 0.3 density do to the exposure of the bright part of the scene?

The 0.3 density darkens the filtered half by one f-stop, reducing the brightness of a sky or highlight area without shifting colour balance.

How does the 58 mm thread and rotatable mount affect alignment?

The filter screws onto a 58 mm thread and the mount rotates, letting you position the gradient horizon line horizontally for precise composition.

What physical clearance does the 701M filter need in front of the lens?

The plano-parallel glass sits in a standard threaded ring; ensure your lens hood or matte box does not vignette the 58 mm front diameter when the filter is mounted.
