The Tiffen 6 x 6" 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. The 3 density provides more softening than the 2, but less than the 4.

Tiffen filters are made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass and grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. This filter measures 6 x 6" / 152.4 x 152.4mm.

Q: 4. Hello - I asked the question about piggybacking a DSLR to the C5. Thanks for your response, but it didn't answer the question. I've done what you state in your answer numerous times with my Nikon DSLRs. Celestron's site says they have a piggyback adapter that works with SCT's from the C5 on. I don't think it includes the 'spotting scope' version. So wondering if this version of the C5 has the female ends for the mounting screws?
