The Tiffen 125mm Coarse Thread Low Contrast 4 Filter can be applied to purposely reduce contrast while photographing an image or while recording video. By redistributing illumination from brighter to darker areas within a scene, this filter is useful in helping to balance the tonal range among highlights and shadows. Detail is increased within shadow regions while a halation effect around highlights is created which can further enhance a scene's appearance or produce a desired effect.

This filter has a grade of 4. Grades of 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 3, and 5 are also available where this filter type's effect becomes approximately twice as strong with each grade number increase.

This filter is 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.

Q: 1. How would images taken with this lens and a 2x teleconverter compare with images taken from a 100-400mm Sony G lens?

A: Both options would provide excellent image quality. However, having the FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS lens with the FE 2X Teleconverter allows you to shorten the range as needed by removing the teleconverter. With the FE 100-400mm lens, you’re stuck within a longer range unless you back up.

Q: 2. hi im planning fitting this to my a6500 can you please give zoom values with & without the converter?.thanks, Terry
