Responding to the demands of cinematographers, this 72mm Black Glimmerglass Camera Filter from Tiffen features a grade 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: 1. Can you zoom your lens using this housing?

A: You can as long as the lens plus body length does not exceed 12.2".

Q: 2. Will this hood fit on my Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4 DC Macro HSM Lens f/Sony?

A: I have a 18-200 mm Nikkor zoom lens (72 mm diameter) on which this hood fits fine (as far as attaching to the lens). It should also fit your lens. The hood folds in for the wider angle zoom. However, there is definite corner shadowing at the widest angles. So depending on how often you shoot wide, it may become a hindrance. My wide angle extends to 76 degrees while your Sigma extends to 79 degrees. Therefore, it is likely to have even more corner shadowing. Beyond the wide angle, however, the hood works fine. In my case, I only need to zoom in a bit to remove the corner shadows. However, there have been times when I took off the hood when the corner shadows were annoying (and I didn't have any sun reflection issues).

Q: 3. Does this fit a Nikon AF Nikkor 28-200mm lens?

Q: 8. Does the front bumper screw into the lens filter that is installed on a lens, or does the lens filter screw into the bumper after the bumper is screwed onto the lens?

A: The front bumper screws onto the lens like a filter. You can have filters mounted onto the lens, and as long as they have a front filter thread the bumber will connect to the filter. The bumper also has front threads to allow filters to be mounted.

Q: 9. How does this affect the use of lens caps, filters, or bayonet-type lens hoods?

A: It really only affects bayonet type hoods. The bumper has filter threads on both sides, so it can mount to the lens directly like a filter, or directly to a filter, and also have filters mounted atop it. For rotating filters such as circular polarizers it is recommended to put them atop the bumper.

Q: 10. Would this work for a Panasonic gx7?

A: Yes it should if the camera has a normal tripod mount on the bottom.
