B&W Gradual Filter Master Line 711 GND 0.3 ND 62mm — graduated neutral density, 62 mm

B&W Gradual Filter Master Line 711 GND 0.3 ND 62mm is a graduated neutral density filter that reduces exposure by 1 stop (0.3 ND) over a portion of the image. Designed for lenses with a 62 mm thread, the filter produces smoother transitions between bright and dark areas to help achieve balanced exposures in landscapes, seascapes and other outdoor scenes with high dynamic range. The optical glass and neutral gray tint help preserve colour fidelity while selectively limiting light from the brightest parts of the frame.

Advantages

The filter provides a predictable 1-stop reduction in exposure across the graduated area, enabling easier control of highlights without affecting the entire frame. Its neutral density characteristic maintains accurate colors and white balance while reducing light intensity. The slim 62 mm threaded design allows direct mounting to compatible lenses and minimizes vignetting on wide-angle optics. The Master Line construction ensures even density and consistent performance across the filter surface.

Suitable for

• Landscape photography with bright skies and darker foregrounds
• Seascape and sunset shots to control sky brightness
• Architectural exteriors where window or sky highlights need balancing
• Outdoor scenes with high contrast between sky and land

Key specifications

• Type: Graduated neutral density (GND)
• Density: 0.3 ND (approx. 1 stop)
• Gradient style: Soft/standard graduated transition
• Mount: 62 mm screw-in thread
• Material: Optical glass with neutral grey coating

How to use

Screw the filter onto a lens with a 62 mm front thread. Compose the image and rotate or slide the filter as needed so the graduated transition aligns with the horizon or other boundary between bright and dark areas. Meter for the part of the scene you want to retain detail in, then make exposure adjustments to account for the 1-stop reduction in the graduated area. Verify live view or a test shot to confirm the transition position and exposure balance before final shooting.

Usage recommendations

Use the B&W 62 mm graduated filter when the sky or a bright area dominates part of the frame and you need a subtle 1-stop reduction to restore detail. For stronger correction, consider stacking with additional neutral density or using a stronger GND grade. Store the filter in a protective case when not in use and clean with appropriate lens-safe solutions to preserve optical coatings.
