Responding to the demands of cinematographers, this 58mm Black Glimmerglass Camera Filter from Tiffen features a grade 1/2 density and is designed to take the crisp edges off the images that modern lenses and digital cameras produce. The filter subtly softens the image and lowers detail resolution for those who want to simulate the look of film footage while shooting on digital gear. This black Glimmerglass model reduces contrast and overall sharpness and can smooth out unwanted blemishes, wrinkles, or other fine details in a subject's face while keeping the general image in focus. Manufactured using ColorCore technology, the filter is designed to be accurate in its effect and to produce consistent results.

Q: 3. Work on Nikon D850

A: Yes, the Voigtlander Nokton 58mm f/1.4 SL II S Lens (Black) would be compatible for use on the Nikon D850 DSLR Camera. As the Voigtlander Nokton 58mm f/1.4 SL II S Lens is a non-CPU lens, it would only work in the [A] Aperture-priority and [M] Manual modes. You can go into the camera's Setup Menu, go to the Non-CPU Lens Data menu setting and enter the lens' focal length and maximum aperture. This would allow speedlight flashes with power zooms to set the zoom distance, allow the flash output level to be adjusted if the flash supports Auto Aperture mode, and to allow the lens' focal length and aperture to be listed in the image's EXIF data (with an asterisk beside it), while also improving the camera's built-in light meter performance.

Q: 6. Does anyone else find the focusing ring a bit stiff? Mine runs smoothly, but not as smooth as my Nikkor AI-S lenses. I need to use two fingers and apply slight force to focus. I feel like it might be faulty.
