The Tiffen 62mm Warm Black Diffusion/FX 1/2 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 1/2 density, providing a subtle 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: 9. Lowepro lens case13x32cm,part # LOLC 1332

A: I picked up a small Lowe backpack that works for carrying the lens and camera connected. I did pick up the actual carry bag that was made for the lens and it fits like a glove and is well constructed. Very happy to keep the lens in that when not in use. It does not have a large enough external pocket for a polarizer lens which i carry with the lens.

Q: 10. I have heard that there was a focus hanging issue with this lens, and the issue was resolved by a latest firmware upgrade. Is there a way to check whether the new stock at B&H will come with the latest firmware? Thanks.

A: Unfortunately, we are not able to access our inventory to check what firmware versions our products have installed. It is not uncommon that from the time the manufacturer ships a product out, to the time it takes to arrive to you after purchase that a new firmware version could be released. We always advise when purchasing a new camera or other device with firmware options to check the version installed upon receipt, and then check the manufacturers website to compare against what the latest version is. If there is a new version available they will post directions on how to update/install, which is very simple to perform.
