The Tiffen 95mm Coarse Thread Warm Soft/FX 2 Filter can be applied to create a warm cast over an entire image while purposely reducing the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles in portraits, or to apply a general soft-focus effect while maintaining overall sharpness. An array of small lenses distributed within the surface of this filter smooths fine lines and textures, which can be useful for creating a more flattering result of a subject.

The warming effect of this filter can be obtained under daylight when this filter is used on a film camera system with daylight film installed, or on a digital camera system with its daylight white balance setting selected. This filter's overall coloration reflects a mired shift value of +45.

This filter has a grade of 2. Grades of 1/2, 1, 3, 4, and 5 are also available where this filter type's effect becomes approximately twice as strong with each grade number increase. When higher grade numbers are applied, a halation effect around highlights can be created to further enhance a subject's appearance or produce a desired effect.

This filter is constructed from optical glass for clarity as well as color fidelity. It is made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass and grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and then mounting to precision metal rings.

Q: 1. Will this adapter ring work with the bronica gs-1 6x7 with the 50mm wide angle lens with 95mm thread?Thanks,Richard

A: Yes, that will work on that lens and camera.

Q: 2. I have a Nikkor 18-200 lens with a 72 mm thread. Can this 77mm VND Filter be used with a step-up ring (72-77) on my Nikkor and Nikon D7000 DSLR?

A: Yes, that will work well.

Q: 3. Tamron 16-300?

A: Yes the Tiffen 67mm Variable Neutral Density Filter can be used on any lens that has 67mm front threads such as the Tamron 16-300mm.

Q: 4. Will this VND filter fit over a B&W 67mm UV filter already on my travel (zoom) lens or do I need to remove the UV filter before I can attach this Tiffen 67VND?

A: Yes, the Tiffen 67mm Variable Neutral Density Filter can fit directly on the front of a B+W 67mm UV Filter. There is a possibility that you will have vignetting, as stacking filters on a wide angle lens can sometimes cause vignetting. If this is the case, you may need to remove the UV filter before mounting the Variable ND Filter.

Q: 5. Anyone has issue with out of focus when zoom lens is zoom all the way in while using a variable ND filter?

A: In a DSLR, since autofocus primarily works better in better lighting conditions and because some zoom lenses with variable apertures have smaller apertures at the long end of the zoom, your camera might not have enough light to autofocus well. However, without knowing all the specifics, this is an issue that might be hard to troubleshoot. The Tiffen VND by itself would usually not greatly contribute to autofocusing issues.

Q: 6. Hello, I have been doing simple photography for a while, but don't know much about my equipment... so I was wondering if this filter is compatible with a canon rebel T4i with a canon EF-S 55-250mm lens? Thanks for your time!

A: This filter is the incorrect size for the Canon EF-S 55-250 lens. Instead, you will need a filter with a thread size of 58mm. Take a look at the Hoya 58mm Variable Neutral Density filter: http://bhpho.to/1kcHnEZ

Q: 7. I can see a bit of threading on the front of the 62mm and 67mm Tiffen VNDs. Can you tell me what the diameter is of each of those? I realize it is not much, but it is there, and I would like to try and use it.

A: Unfortunately the Tiffen VND filters do not have front threads. The front of the filter is larger than the rear threads in order to reduce the risk of vignetting.

Q: 8. Can this fit any 72mm lens. I have a canon rebel T5 with 18-200 lens that is 72mm?

A: Yes, the Tiffen 72mm Variable Neutral Density Filter will fit any lens with a 72mm diameter filter thread, including the Canon EF-S 18-200mm lens.
