What the product is and who it is for
The Benro Master Series GND16 is a 4-stop soft-edge graduated neutral density filter measuring 150x170mm. It is built for landscape and outdoor photographers who need to balance bright skies with darker foregrounds in high-contrast scenes. The filter provides a smooth transition that works well where no defined horizon line exists. It fits standard 150x170mm filter holders for use across multiple camera systems.
The specification that decides fit
The filter delivers a 4-stop density reduction with a 1.2 optical density rating. Its ULCA multi-coating achieves an average transmission above 99.0 percent across the 420-680nm range, minimising flare and chromatic aberration. An IR cut coating reduces infrared pollution to keep colours accurate. The NANO WMC coating adds scratch resistance while repelling water and oil for easier cleaning.
Who this suits and who should look elsewhere
This filter suits photographers shooting landscapes with gradual horizon transitions who want a single 4-stop correction. It is not for shooters who need a hard-edge grad for distinct horizons, nor for those requiring stronger or weaker density values. Buyers using filter holders smaller than 150x170mm cannot mount this filter. Photographers wanting variable density control should consider a different filter type.

Questions about this item
How much does the 4-stop density reduce light in the sky area?
The GND16 marking means the dark portion cuts light by 16 times, giving a 4-stop reduction to balance bright skies with darker foregrounds.
What does the 1.2 designation tell me about the gradation?
The 1.2 value identifies this as a soft-edge filter with a gradual transition, suited to scenes without a sharp horizon line.
Will the 150x170mm size fit my filter holder?
The filter measures 150 mm by 170 mm, so it fits any holder that accepts that rectangular format.
