LEE

LEE 0.9 Graduated Neutral Density Filter Soft Edge 150x170mm

SKU CH-PB95-KMWC0

A 150x170mm soft-edge graduated neutral density filter reducing exposure by 0.9 stops to balance bright skies with darker foregrounds

  • Balances bright skies with darker foregrounds using a 0.9 graduated neutral density filter
  • Soft-edge transition blends density change naturally across uneven horizon lines
  • Large 150x170mm format fits SW150 holder and allows vertical positioning adjustment
  • Reduces exposure by two stops to enable slower shutter speeds for motion blur effects
  • Permits wider apertures in bright light to decrease depth of field and isolate subjects

Landscape Photography Filter

The Lee 0.9 Graduated Neutral Density Filter measures 150x170mm and fits the SW150 holder system. It reduces exposure by two stops across half the frame to balance bright skies with darker foregrounds. Landscape and outdoor photographers use it to retain highlight detail in high-contrast scenes. The soft edge gradient creates a natural transition between the filtered and clear zones.

Soft Edge Graduation Effect

The soft edge coating blends the dense and clear areas gradually rather than with a hard line. This suits horizons broken by hills, trees or buildings where an abrupt change would look artificial. Photographers can slide the filter vertically inside the holder to align the transition precisely with the horizon. The 0.9 density darkens bright skies without affecting the land exposure.

Compatibility Check Required

Verify that you own or plan to purchase the Lee SW150 filter holder, as this filter is sized specifically for that system. Confirm your lens front diameter can accept the SW150 adapter rings needed to mount the holder. Ensure you work with filter widths of 150mm, as smaller holder systems will not accept this sheet. Buyers needing screw-in circular filters or smaller slot-in formats should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Will the 0.9 density coating on this 150x170mm filter degrade or scratch off over time?

The neutral density coating is applied to optical resin, which resists yellowing but can scratch if wiped with grit; store in the supplied pouch and clean only with a microfibre cloth and lens fluid.

What is the first limitation you hit when using this 2-stop graduated filter for very long daylight exposures?

The 0.9 density provides exactly two stops of light reduction at the dark edge; scenes brighter than that will still overexpose unless you stop down the lens further or add a solid ND filter.

Does the 150x170mm resin filter warp or create heat haze when left in the SW150 holder all day in direct sun?

Optical resin handles normal outdoor temperatures without warping; it does not generate heat, so no thermal haze appears during extended daylight use.
