The soft gradation is ideal when there is no definite transition between sky and foreground, for instance woodland, mist & interiors.
LEE's 85mm filters are formulated with harder than usual grad lines to compensate for smaller sensor size and come in a range of strengths denoting the light stopping power of the dark area of the filter - from 1 to 3 stops.
All LEE85 ND Graduated and Standard filters also feature a new grip tab, which increases the visible area and keeps finger prints off of the filter zone.
