ICE 67mm Grad ND Set Reverse Hard Soft ND8 - 3 Stop Glass Filters

In this review the ICE 67mm Grad ND Set is evaluated for landscape and sunrise/sunset shooters who need controlled graduated exposure without sacrificing image quality. The set includes three optical glass grad filters - a reverse grad ND8 for bright horizons at sunrise/sunset, a hard grad ND8 with a sharply defined edge, and a soft grad ND8 with a gentle transition - and the single biggest reason to buy is the combination of true optical glass elements and a rotating, double-threaded metal frame that makes horizon alignment and stacking additional filters straightforward.

Key Features

• Reverse Grad ND8: designed for sunset and sunrise work, it reduces exposure by 3 stops at the darkest point to retain detail in bright skies near the horizon.
• Hard Grad ND8: provides a strongly delineated border that helps control contrast when the horizon is clear and well defined.
• Soft Grad ND8: offers a smooth transition for complex scenes with irregular horizons, preserving natural gradation across the sky.
• Optical Glass Construction: all three filters are made from optical glass to preserve sharpness and minimize color shifts compared with cheaper resin alternatives.
• Rotating Double-Threaded Metal Frame: the superfine matte black frame rotates to match the horizon and accepts additional filters or a hood via the front thread.
• Carry and Protection: the set ships with a three-pocket filter wallet for organized storage and basic protection in the field.

Who It's For

The ICE 67mm Grad ND Set is best for landscape photographers, outdoor portrait shooters at golden hour, and hobbyists upgrading from clip-on or screw-on neutral density solutions who want greater control over bright skies. The inclusion of reverse, hard and soft grads covers most common horizon scenarios and the 67mm size fits many standard lenses used by enthusiasts.

Photographers who require variable uniform exposure reduction across the entire frame (full neutral density) or those who use very large professional format lenses should look elsewhere; this set is focused specifically on graduated corrections and works within the 67mm filter ecosystem.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• True optical glass filters provide clear images with minimal loss of sharpness.
• The set covers reverse, hard and soft gradient needs so a single kit handles varied horizon conditions.
• Double-threaded rotating metal frame makes alignment intuitive and allows stacking or a front hood.
• Included pocket wallet keeps three filters organized for travel and field use.

Cons

• Each filter is a fixed 3-stop ND8; users needing variable stops or full neutral density should choose a different solution.
• 67mm size requires step-up or separate rings for lenses with different thread diameters.

Our Verdict
