150 mm Graduated Filters by Haida
Graduated ND filters in 150 x 170 mm for the Haida M15 and other 150 mm filter holders – the solution for ultra-wide lenses without a filter thread. Soft, medium, hard or reverse graduation, individually or as a Red-Diamond kit.
Why use a graduated filter?
In landscape photography the sky is often much brighter than the foreground. A graduated ND filter darkens the upper part of the frame while leaving the lower part unchanged. This lets you expose sky and land correctly in a single shot – without bracketing or heavy editing.
Which graduation suits your subject?
- Soft edge: the darkening fades gently towards the centre. Ideal for mountains, hills and uneven horizons where a hard edge would show.
- Medium edge: the middle ground between soft and hard – versatile if you only want to carry one filter.
- Hard edge: a short, defined transition. Ideal for straight horizons such as the sea, lakes or flat landscapes.
- Reverse grad: strongest in the middle, lighter towards the top. For sunrises and sunsets when the brightest light sits right on the horizon.
Which strength do I need?
The ND value shows how much the filter darkens: ND 0.9 equals 3 stops, ND 1.2 4 stops. ND 0.9 is the most versatile choice to start with. For backlight and sunsets, go for ND 1.2.
Single filter or Red-Diamond kit?
The kit contains several soft-edge strengths and costs less than buying the filters individually. Haida's Red-Diamond series is made of toughened optical glass, making it particularly shatter-resistant – a real advantage with large 150 mm filters. A matching filter pouch keeps them safe in transit.
150 mm or 100 mm?
You'll mainly need the 150 mm system for ultra-wide lenses with a bulbous front element and no filter thread, such as 14 mm lenses. For most other lenses with a filter thread, the more compact 100 mm system is the lighter choice. You'll find the right holder under filter holders.
