The Tiffen 2 x 3" 5 Magenta Soft-Edge Graduated Filter helps to specifically add a pinkish, magenta 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 magenta 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 2 x 3" / 50.8 x 76.2mm.

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

5 Density Color Graduated Filter    Magenta Coloring in Select Areas    Soft-Step Graduation    ColorCore Technology

Provides a magenta 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: 1. Trying to decide which telephoto lens under $1500 to buy for my canon? I have a 24-105mm lens which is a pretty good all around lens but I want something with a little more reach to hopefully take on a safari one day and an Alaska trip. Ideally I would love a canon ef 100-400 but that's a little out of my price range. Is the Tamron 150-600 the way to go?

A: Hi, I have had my Tamron 150-600 for a while now, not used it a ton but I have taken a few 1000 pics with it. Mainly sports photography (windsurfing and kitesurfing, I use a solid tripod with a Benro Gimbal mount (the kind where the camera becomes weightless and you can move it with your fingertip) it is great!. Most the pics are taken in good lighting conditions so I can really use the full potential of the zoom. I use a canon 7D with it so I get a full 840mm out of it (1,4 factor with the smaller censor). For the money it is a great lens, I have tried the old 100-400 and to be honest I use the last 200mm up to 600 more often than anything. It is quite the difference in how close I can snap pics with full details in the face from a distance far far away. For a safari trip I am sure the lens will do even better as your objects most likley will be sitting still more or less, at least compare to a windsurfer or kitesurfer who is moving across water... Have fun on your safari, and bring the 150-600 and you won't be dissapointed.

Q: 9. I have read several reviews and am a bit confused. Will the lens work with either a D800 or D810 and a teleconverter and still be capable of auto focus?

A: You will find the performance to be a bit better on the Nikon D 810, however if you plan to use the lens-teleconverter combo to track moving subjects, then your results will drop dramatically. You would be much better off to use the DX mode on the D 800 or D 810 to take advantage of the crop factor since this gets you the effect of the teleconverter without lowering the amount of light hitting the sensor. The only drawback is now your skill needs to be higher in order to keep your subject in the center of the frame. This can be challenging when you have the whole frame to work with and becomes much more difficult in the crop mode. In short, there are tradeoffs with every choice you make so choose wisely....!

Q: 10. Just wondering. GH5 + 0.71 Metabones adapter work? Were talking 2x crop making this 300-1200mm f3.5/4.5. In body stabilization + Tamrons lens stabilization would make this the best handled combo ever made?

A: I shoot with Nikon but I dont think this lens accepts any extenders. I checked Tamrons website when I was considering adding an extender and none were listed for this lens.
