There is two types of grads: one with a "hard" straight line separating the zones and the other with a "SE" where the transition between the two zones is gradual. Learning when to use the hard vs the soft edge version and careful placement is the key to successful results which are unnoticeable in the final output. Correctly used they are indispensable for photographing scenes where, for example, part of it requires several stops of additional exposure than the other part.
BTW, the step-up ring for the 95mm Cokin adopter ring was delivered on Monday and was used for the first time yesterday to place a Schneider glass haze filter on the 610 Apo-Nikkor. So within the next few days I will be placing an add in the FS section for Cokin P system which includes at least one adapter ring, several resin filters (Cokin and HiTek) and a Cokin circular polarizer. Also an 82mm adapter ring for the Cokin Z-Pro will be offered. If you would like to get in early, send me a PM. The price will be "right."
