The Tiffen Soft Grade ND 3 is a professional-grade graduated neutral density filter designed to balance exposure between a bright sky and a darker foreground without a visible transition line.
| Filter_Type | Graduated Neutral Density |
| Dimensions | 4 x 5.65 inches (Standard Cinema Size) |
| Thickness | 4mm |
| Light_Reduction | 1 Stop at the darkest point |
The Tiffen Soft Grade ND 3 provides a 1-stop light reduction (0.3 density) at its darkest point, tapering off gradually to clear glass.
Yes, this is a 4x5.65" filter, which is the industry standard for professional cinema matte boxes like the Arri LMB or Tilta MB-T12.
A soft edge has a wide, gradual transition between the ND and clear sections, making it easier to hide the transition line in uneven horizons compared to a hard edge.
