The Tiffen 2 x 3" 1 Grape Soft-Edge Graduated Filter helps to specifically add a cool, purplish 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 1 color density provides less grape coloration than the 2 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.

1 Density Color Graduated Filter    Grape Coloring in Select Areas    Soft-Step Graduation    ColorCore Technology

Provides a cool purplish 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. Focus lag / performance?I had originally planned on getting this lens when I sold my Tamron 200-500mm last year. The focus performance on that lens was not good and I was hoping the new Tamron would be a better performer. I've read a lot that in anything other than bright sunlight that the new Tamron does not perform well acquiring focus.What is your experience with this lens? are you happy with it? why or why not?I'll be using a D7200.I have been leaning toward the Sigma 150-600mm Sport version. I'm confident that it is well built and a great performer but its twice the price and a lot heavier.If you've used both lenses please let me know your thoughts.Thank you,Steve

A: I'm very happy with the Tamron 150-600. I use it on my D300 & D800 and it focus as fast as or faster than my Nikkor lenses. You will love it.

Q: 9. What specifically is the UV haze filter (brand, model, etc) that is included in this package? (It would be nice to have the details explained in the description)

A: The UV haze filter will help to cut through UV haze especially with landscape photography. However, I feel that the most important reason for using the filter is to protect the lens. Putting the filter on is the first thing I do when I get the lens. It is a lot less expensive to replace a scratched filter than a scratched lens, which is bound to happen with use over time.
