To see the effect, set the camera in Av or M mode at your desired aperture and use the DoF preview button to stop the lens down to shooting aperture while you adjust the filter up or down. Jon

I am not able to see the graduation. Could that be since it is HARD and not SOFT? Or could it be that my eyes are letting me down here in the arctic light? I'm guessing that ".3 ND G H" probably stands for " 0.3 Neutral Density Graduated Hard" -Chris (also formally known as "imtrashed" if searching feedback thread)

My wife "surprised" me with the same filter kit to replace my scratched-up Hitechs. TBH, I could probably do without the 1-stop, but the individual Lee filters were not available (just the kit three pack)...happy shooting.
