Chocolate Soft Graduated #5 Filter

This 4x6 inch resin filter adds a strong chocolate-colored graduated effect to photographs. It is designed for landscape and creative photographers who want dramatic color transitions in-camera. The soft graduation style allows the color blend to be positioned anywhere within the frame. It suits users who prefer physical filters over digital post-processing for this specific look.

Square filter system installation

The filter slides into a compatible Lee Filters holder system mounted on the lens via an adapter ring. Correct alignment of the graduation line with the horizon requires careful visual adjustment through the viewfinder or live view. Vignetting can occur on wide-angle lenses if the holder protrudes or if stacking multiple filters. The resin material resists breakage better than glass but scratches more easily if cleaned improperly.

Strongest chocolate density in range

As the #5 grade, this filter provides the most intense chocolate tone available in the Chocolate series, suitable for bold sunset enhancements or heavy color grading. It comfortably handles scenes requiring a pronounced warm color cast across a significant portion of the image. It runs out of subtlety for delicate balancing tasks where a #1 to #4 filter would blend more naturally. The fixed density cannot be adjusted once the exposure is made.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the soft graduation is transitioning smoothly from chocolate to clear after placing the 4x6" filter in my holder?

Look through the viewfinder or live view and rotate the filter vertically; the chocolate tint should fade evenly into the clear portion without a hard line, confirming the soft graduation works as designed.

What items are included with the Chocolate Soft Graduated #5 Filter and what extra equipment is needed to use it?

The box contains the single 4x6" resin filter; you must supply a compatible Lee Filters holder and adapter ring for your lens diameter to mount it.

Which Chocolate strength should I choose if I want the most pronounced graduated effect for dramatic skies?

Choose the Chocolate #5 filter — it is the strongest in the range, while Chocolate #1 is the mildest and the intermediate numbers step up in intensity.
