An ideal protective filter for outdoor use, the 86mm UV Haze 2A from Tiffen is a clear UV filter that helps to reduce haze and unwanted blue color casts when photographing at high altitudes or near water. The 2A strength of this filter is more effective that the standard Haze-1 filter at reducing haze and is especially well-suited for aerial and drone photography applications. Additionally, as a clear filter, it can also be used as general protection for the front of your lens to guard against scratches, fingerprints, dust, and other elements.

The filter is constructed using Tiffen's ColorCore technology, which involves laminating the filter material between two pieces of optical glass, grounding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and mounting within an aluminum alloy ring. The coarse thread version of the filter has a thread pitch of 1.0.

Q: 1. Does filter interfere with the use of the lens hood on the Sigma 150-600 Sport?

Q: 2. Hi, What is the exat difference between Tiffen Haze 1 and Haze 2A filters? I don't see any clear difference, besides the cost. Thank you!!

A: Hi Aquiles,According to Tiffen, the 2A absorbs all ultraviolet light, whereas the 1 absorbs only 71% of UV. Film and sensors detect UV as additional brightness in subjects like the sky even though our eyes don't, so a UV filter renders photos that are closer to what we perceive. I think you will see slightly richer colors overall with the 2A, but the 1 would make a noticeable improvement.You won't be able to see a difference by just looking through the filter because our eyes naturally filter out the UV.If the extra cost bugs you, go with the Type 1. It will improve your photos as compared with no filter. If you want to get the bluest sky, the Type 2A is better. Incidentally, a polarizing filter can do an even better job of darkening the blue in the sky.Jim
