The Tiffen 95mm Coarse Thread Warm Black Diffusion/FX 1/2 Filter diffuses strong light entering the lens and produces a glowing effect. While the resulting image appears softer and ethereal, there is little loss of clarity or detail. This filter works by diffusing the light entering the lens with small aberrations; by spreading the light more evenly, a soft glow is created rather than the sharp, well-defined image when shooting without a filter. In addition to the diffusion provided, a warming effect is also integrated into the filter helping to further balance skin tones. This filter has a 1/2 density, providing a subtle amount of softening.

Tiffen filters are made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and then mounting to precision metal rings.

Q: 2. What are your thoughts between the Sony Distagon T* FE 35MM f/1.4 [SEL35F14Z] versus Sony - 35mm f/1.8 FE [SEL35F18F]. Money is not an issue but I still can't decide?

A: There is only 2/3 of a stop difference in the maximum apertures of these lenses and they would both be very sharp. One might choose the Sony Distagon T* FE 35mm f/1.4 ZA Lens if they are shooting more video being that the lens offers a de-clicked aperture ring, while someone looking to spend less but needs the low light performance might choose the FE 35mm f/1.8 instead.

Q: 3. How is this lens for gimbal video? How is this lens for low light music videos? At 6.3 the ISO willed to be high

A: The Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR Lens expands outside the lens barrel for 3''. This feature will throw off the balance on your video gimbal. The lens aperture will increase to an f/6.3 after the lens reaches the 70mm. You will be losing almost 2 stops of light. If you are shooting under dim lighting conditions, you will most likely need to increase your ISO above 1000.
