Kase Wolverine 100mm Soft GND 1.2 Filter - Kase

'GND' stands for Graduated Neutral Density. '1.2' refers to the optical density value, which translates to approximately 4 stops of light reduction.

A soft graduated filter has a transition zone between the dark and clear areas that is less defined and more gradual, making it ideal for scenes with irregular or uneven horizons, like mountains or trees.

Yes, the Kase Wolverine 100mm filters are designed to be compatible with each other and can be stacked in a 100mm filter holder system, provided the holder has multiple slots.

The dark side of the filter should be oriented towards the brightest part of your scene (typically the sky), and the clear side should be oriented towards the darker part of your scene (typically the foreground).

Yes, the GND filter can be used for video to control dynamic range, especially in bright conditions. The soft graduation is beneficial for a natural look.

Please refer to Kase's official warranty information for the specific duration and terms of coverage for their Wolverine series filters.

A 4-stop reduction means the filter significantly darkens the scene it covers, allowing you to use a longer exposure time or a wider aperture than you normally could in bright light, thereby balancing the exposure between sky and land.

While this filter is designed for minimal color cast, ensure your camera's white balance is set correctly. If a slight cast persists, it can usually be corrected in post-processing software.

Ensure the filter is clean and free of debris. Check that the filter holder is properly assembled and not obstructed. Confirm the filter is oriented correctly within the holder's slots.

Use distilled water for cleaning and ensure you are using a high-quality, clean microfiber cloth. Dry the filter gently with a separate clean, dry microfiber cloth immediately after cleaning.
