The Tiffen 86mm Coarse Thread Warm Black Diffusion/FX 3 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 3 density, providing a moderate 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.

Diffuser filter provides an ethereal quality to photographs, resulting in a dream-like atmosphere.

Soft image quality does not detract from the overall detail of the image.

Light entering the lens is diffused by small aberrations, creating a soft glow rather than the sharp, well-defined image when shooting without a filter.

Additional warmth provided adds more of a glowing effect and helps to further balance skin tones.

A: Yes, even though your camera body has stabilization, the lens stabilization will make shooting more stable and enable you to shoot at even lower shutter speeds.

Q: 3. Do they make a lens hood for this lens?

A: It comes with a hood ... They can also be bought separately, but are extremely expensive, so don't lose it!

Q: 4. Is it internal focusing? If not, how far does the lens extend at maximum macro?

Q: 7. What are it's advantages over the Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L II USM bound with a Metabones IV (witch I do 'already have, with latest firmware) - if we do the abstraction of price and that it's more elegant to not have to do with adapters..)? :Is the Bokhe and softer f1.4 til f2.8 a real advantage for portraits, has it better 3D effect over the latest Canon ?

A: The main advantage of using this lens over a Canon with an adapter is simply that this is a native Sony E-Mount lens. Adapters are very nice and have come a long way, but they still are not flawless. You will get a perfect performance as far as control of the lens and auto focus when using a native lens. This also happens to be a Zeiss Distagon T* lens, which is a very beautiful and high quality lens.

Q: 9. Is this focus by wire?

A: Yes, it is focus by wire.

Q: 10. 2. This lens has VR. Nikon Z6 have the VR system in the sensor. How those two VR systems will work together?

A: Z mount lenses with VR will add an axis to the vibration control. This gives the camera a 5 stop rating.
