60mm Graduated ND Filter for Balanced Exposures

The B+W 701M is a 60mm graduated neutral density filter designed to balance brightness variations in a scene. It reduces light transmission by 50 percent in the graduated half, allowing photographers to darken bright skies while maintaining correct exposure for the foreground. The filter features a smooth, uniform gradient transition from gray to clear and is constructed from high-quality plano-parallel glass made in Germany. It suits both analog and digital camera systems.

Landscape Photographers Needing Horizon Control

This filter is intended for photographers who need to manage high-contrast scenes such as bright skies over darker land. The rotatable mount permits precise horizontal alignment of the gradient for a natural blend. It is not suitable for shooters requiring a solid neutral density filter for uniform light reduction across the entire frame, nor for those needing higher density options beyond a single stop of reduction. Videographers requiring hard-stop graduated filters may also find the transition too soft.

1-Stop Density with Multi-Resistant Coating

The defining specification is the 0.3 density rating, which corresponds to a 1-stop (50 percent) light reduction in the graduated portion. Combined with the Multi-Resistant Coating (MRC), this specification determines the filter's capacity to balance exposure without introducing colour casts or reducing contrast through reflections.

Questions about this item

How much light does the 0.3 density cut at the darkest edge?

The 0.3 density reduces transmission by 50 percent, equivalent to one f-stop at the gradient's darkest portion.

Will the glass warm up or add noise during long daytime exposures?

The filter is passive optical glass; it generates no heat and adds no electronic noise regardless of exposure length.

What lens thread size must I already have to mount this filter?

Your lens needs a 60mm front thread to accept the filter's rotating mount directly.
