What is a hard GND filter?

A hard graduated neutral density filter (also known as hard-edge GND filter) is a type of gradient filter that has a sharp transition from the dark part on the top to the clear part in the middle. Due to the sharp line of the gradient, these filters are used for shooting when the horizon is relatively flat without protruding elements. As with all other graduated ND filters, hard GND filters are used to reduce the excessive light coming from the top part of the image and balance the exposure of the scene.

How does the hard graduated neutral density filter work?

A hard GND filter is a square filter divided into two sections where one half is clear and another one has a gradient filter from top to bottom. The filter is placed in a way that the dark gradient part covers the sky, and the clear part covers the dark area. The darkened part of the hard graduated neutral density filter reduces the amount of light from the brighter part of the scene before it enters the camera's sensor, meanwhile, the clear part allows the light from the darker part of the scene to pass through unaffected. As a result, the filter balances an exposure and allows you to capture vibrant colours and details of the scene.

When to use a hard GND filter?

Since they have a defined transition between the gradient filter and the clear part, they are best used when shooting landscapes with flat horizon lines without any protruding objects. For example, it can be used for capturing a seascape or field, but it may be not suitable for shooting mountains.

Hard graduated ND filters are good to use when the focal length is 70mm or above. They can replace a soft-edge GND filter in this case, since it will not have a strong effect with this focal length.

What is the difference between soft and hard GND filters?

Both hard and soft GND filters are made the same way: one part of the glass is clear, and another is covered with grey gradient. The main difference is that with a soft GND filter, the gradient appears as a smooth transition from dark to bright, while the hard GND filter has a sharp transition line between dark and bright areas.

With hard graduated ND filters, you can shoot landscapes with flat horizon lines, while soft graduated neutral density filters can be used for landscapes with no straight horizons or with objects appearing on the horizon (e.g., mountains).

ARMOUR adapter ring for Nikon Z 14-24mm F2.8

This adapter ring was specially developed so that the Nikon Z 14-24mm F2.8 lens can be used with our ARMOUR filter holder. It eliminates the need to switch to the 150mm filter system and fits perfectly into the ARMOUR filter holder system. With this insert, the magnetic ARMOUR polarizing filter can be combined with the ARMOUR filter holder. The adapter ring is attached directly to the Nikon Z 14-24mm F2.8 lens and then the ARMOUR filter holder is mounted on it The adapter ring connects the lens barrel with a nylon screw that snaps into the same section used for the lens hoods. This ensures a secure connection between the filter adapter ring and the lens. Notes: Because of the lens design of the Nikon Z 14-24mm F2.8 there is a compromise. The rear magnetic polarizing filter slot cannot be used because the lens hood sits in the holder. When using this adapter, you can therefore not use the CPL on the back of the holder. Instead, however, the magnetic ARMOUR polarizing filter can be inserted into the front slot of the ARMOUR filter holder. Alternatively, the ARMOUR polarizing filter for insertion with rotating function is also recommended. Scope of delivery: 1x ARMOUR filter holder adapter ring for Nikon Z 14-24 F2.8
