Tiffen 5×5 Inch 5 Cyan Soft Edge Graduated Filter | 5X5CGCY5S

Shooting a bright sky over a darker landscape can leave you with clipped highlights or a muddy foreground. That’s precisely where a graduated neutral density filter earns its place in your kit?and the Tiffen 5×5 Inch 5 Cyan Soft Edge Graduated Filter does it with a deliberate creative twist. It darkens the upper portion of the frame by one stop while adding a subtle cyan tint. This soft-edge transition means the tonal shift blends naturally across uneven horizons like treelines or city skylines.

• Soft-edged transition avoids hard lines for scenes with irregular horizon boundaries.
• 5×5 inch size works with most standard matte boxes and filter holders.
• Five-stop density increase tames bright skies without sacrificing shadow detail.
• Cyan color cast cools the look, giving skies a crisp, stylized mood from the start.
• Thin optical glass construction minimizes vignetting and maintains sharpness.

This filter is a solid addition if you’re a landscape or architectural photographer who relies on in-camera effects to save time in post. You get consistent sky exposure, a cooler color palette, and smooth gradation?all without software. It simplifies your workflow. Plain and simple.
