4×4 Graduating Filter
I have a Sony EX3 and a Redrockmicro mattebox that takes 4×4 filters. I want to purchase a 4×4 graduating filter to cut back on highlights in the sky. Can you recommend a brand? I’ve looked at Tiffen. What do you guys out there use?

If you buy a .3 and a .6, you can put them together and have a .9
If you can only buy one, make it a .6
