The Tiffen 86mm Warm Black Diffusion/FX 5 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 5 density, providing a very noticeable 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: 1. Will this lens be compatible with electronic focus on a Ronin RS2 and a bmpcc 4k?

A: The Panasonic Leica DG Summilux 25mm f/1.4 II ASPH. Lens is compatible on the Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 4K. And will autofocus.

Q: 2. can this product be used with Sony ALPHA 7 camera

A: As the Sony E PZ 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 OSS Lens is designed for the NEX lens mount, the lens will fit onto the Sony Alpha a7 Mirrorless Digital Camera. However, do note that the Sony Alpha a7 Mirrorless Digital Camera is a full-frame camera, and the Sony E PZ 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 OSS Lens is designed for APS-C cropped sensors. As such, the use of the Sony E PZ 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 OSS Lens will reduce the image's maximum megapixel count from 24 megapixels down to 10 megapixels if you use the APS-C crop mode. If you do not use the APS-C crop mode, then there will be a black vignette around the edge of your image where the smaller rear end of the lens is blocking light from reaching the full-frame sensor.

Q: 3. Does this work with the z6 iii?

Q: 4. I'm asking this since there is not tripod mount for this lens. Just wondering if anybody is using this with the a7 (not a7ii) and a tripod. Does the a7 feel solid enough to support this lens?

A: Yes I use it with the A7R on a tripod and I do not have a problem with the weight. Nevertheless it is not a sharp lens, it is actually very bad for its price. Images shot with a longer focal length than 120mm are soft. At 240mm is extremely soft. And since there is no way to make a microadjustment on the camera (it should not need it because it is a mirrorless), I have not found a way to fix this. I will try to sell it and buy something else. I am very disappointed at the poor quality of this lens. If you want to see a comparison between a 70-200mm Canon lens and this 24-240mm lens let me know.

Q: 10. Has anyone used this as a spotting scope for benchrest shooting? If so, what would be the maximum effective yardage for viewing the target?

A: I really would not recommend this for Benchrest Shooting. I would go with something with a zoom eyepiece. This model really acts like a telescope with different interchangeable eyepieces. I would personally recommend the Redfield Rampage 20-60x80 Spotting Scope Kit. This would be a good choice for Benchrest Target Shooting.
