The Tiffen 4 x 4" Smoque 2 Filter is a unique diffusion filter that provides a smoky, hazy quality to your images, emulating the effects of a smoke or fog machine. This filter is ideal for use in situations where smoke could typically be encountered, but is not available or present. The 2 density provides more smoke effect than the 1, but less than the 3.

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 4 x 4" / 101.6 x 101.6mm.

Q: 1. On a D7100 is this lens compatible with Kenco 1.4 teleconverter

A: You could use a Kenko 1.4X teleconverter with the Tamron 150-600mm lens on the D7100, though you might lose autofocus.

Q: 2. How about the quality of lense as compared to g2

A: The quality of the glass in the SP 150-60mm Di VC USD is phenomenal. Mine is tack sharp to the point that I am hand holding it while shooting birds in the Spring. The only differences that I see are that they've improved the auto focus a little and weather sealed the unit better. I've gotten my lens a little wet, (not drenched), and it fared just fine. I've found zero issues with the auto focus. I'd probably save the money and get the cheaper lens as I don't see enough to make me spend the extra $$ to get the generation 2 lens.

Q: 9. How good is this lens for action?

A: Depends on the type of action. I have found the VC (Vibration Control) and focus to be extremely quick and accurate. The captures are sharp for hand held as long as you use a good tight shooting position. For sports action I would use a monopod. But I am very happy with my lens.
