The Tiffen 4 x 6" 5 Green Soft-Edge Graduated Filter helps to specifically add a bright green coloration to skies and other bright areas of an image while allowing a portion of the image to remain neutrally colored. The filter's coloring is densest at the edge and tapers to clear by the middle, with a soft-edged transition between the density and clear areas. The 5 color density provides more green coloration than the 4 density filter.

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. It measures 4 x 6" / 101.6 x 152.4mm.

Note: A horizontal orientation filter's line of transition runs parallel to the long side of the filter.

Provides a bright green coloring to select areas of the image.

Graduated filter design keeps a portion of the image neutral, resulting in a more realistic look while allowing for the sky or other bright areas to take on the color of the density.

Q: 5. 2 questions: How well does the Sony A7rII (ungripped) fit into the Medium DSLR Core Unit Version 2 vs the Medium Mirrorless Core Unite V2. From what I can tell the different between the two is the DSLR core is deeper. I may occasionally want to bring a 2nd Mirrorless camera body. I would also normally bring 2-3 lens one being a Sony 70-200mm with Foot attached. Is the Medium DSLR core a better option in this situation? 2nd question: How well will the core unit fit into a traditional backpacking pack (65L). For longer backpacking trips I would rather just have a core unit and just place it in a larger pack.

A: The DSLR Core Unit would be a better option--it's about 1.5" deeper than the Medium Mirrorless Core Unit. A Core unit will easily fit into a 65L pack.
