Graduated neutral density filter

[Duinchlfc]

Hello guys,i wish to get the above mentioned item but problem is my kit lens has a front rotating element.So using a polarizing filter is already a piss off because i have to re adjust the polarizer once i get a focus.So does the GND filter rotate like the circular polarizer if not i don't think i can use it.Cheers

if you dun want to change to a non-rotating front element lens then take out your GND and handhold it in front after focus lor.... just get one piece big piece one like cokin/lee etc..

for lens with rotating front element, you have to fix your focusing, zooming FIRST than adjust your filters for the effect.
PL filter, GND filters and some other filters need rotating or adjustment for best effects.

In tat case i guess a GND filter wud b a better alternative for u.

As catchlight has mentioned, unfortunately u'r stuck with wat u'r currently doing as no matter which filter u choose u will need to readjust the filter after focusing n stuff. As ur alignment wud b off before n after focusing due to e rotating front element.
