The Tiffen 105mm Coarse Thread Low Contrast 1/2 Filter can be applied to purposely reduce contrast while photographing an image or while recording video. By redistributing illumination from brighter to darker areas within a scene, this filter is useful in helping to balance the tonal range among highlights and shadows. Detail is increased within shadow regions while a halation effect around highlights is created which can further enhance a scene's appearance or produce a desired effect.

This filter has a grade of 1/2. Grades of 1/8, 1/4, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are also available where this filter type's effect becomes approximately twice as strong with each grade number increase.

This filter is made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass and grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch.

Q: 5. Will this work with the sony 10-18mm lens?

A: The totally correct answer is I don't really know. On the other hand I see no reason why it should not work. I bought this filter in the 67mm size for my Canon EF-s 10-18mm lens for a camera with an APC size sensor. The Canon lens is equivalent to a16-28.8mm full frame lens while your Sony lens works out like a 15-27mm equivalent. I bought the low profile filter when I realized that my regular polarizer vignetted at 10mm. The new filter solved this problem. Even though your lens is a scant millimeter (equivalent) wider and the size is 5mm smaller I still believe that the filter will work for you without vignetting, which I assume is your concern. Looking at the geometry of the two lenses I think you will be safe.

Q: 6. Will this 77mm filter fit onto the Canon RF 70-200mm f2.8 lens with the supplied Canon lens hood attached?

A: Yes, the Tiffen 77mm Low-Profile Design Circular Polarizer will fit without obstruction from the RF 70-200mm f/2.8 lens hood. The lens hood has a filter window that you may open to spin the circular polarizer.

Q: 7. Can you mount a filter or screw in hood to the front of this filter?

A: No; this filter uses a Wide Angle (Low Profile) mount. In order to help eliminate vignetting (darkening of the corners), it does not have a front thread. As the Tiffen 58mm Circular Polarizing Wide Angle (Low Profile Design) Filter does not have front filter threads, you would not be able to connect a screw-in filter or a screw-in lens hood onto the front of the filter.

Q: 8. does this work with sony FE 20 f1.8?

A: Yes, the lens has a 67mm filter thread to match the filter your questioning.

Q: 9. I'm new to lens filters, how does this attach to the lens?

A: Welcome to the world of filters! :) It's simple, really! The front of your lens has female receiving threads and this filter has male threads; you simply screw the filter into the front of the lens till you feel some slight resistance (for tightness) and you're good to go! You want to make sure you're buying the right size filter for the right lens diameter. That's the only consideration you'll need to make for the most part.
