The Tiffen 4 x 6" 2 Skyfire Graduated Filter helps to specifically add a unique orange to yellow gradient 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 2 color density provides less skyfire coloration than the 3 density, but more than the 1 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 vertical orientation filter's line of transition runs parallel to the short side of the filter.

2 Density Color Graduated Filter    Orange to Yellow Gradient    Soft-Step Graduation    ColorCore Technology

Provides a unique orange to yellow gradient across half of the filter plane.

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. Will this lens work on a Canon 5D III?

A: Yes it is. This lens is designed for both full-frame and APS-C-sized image sensors and is compatible with all Canon EOS DSLR cameras.

Q: 2. What is the minimum length of the lens (e.g. at 150mm)? I want to know what size holster I need for the camera body (D610) + lens to fit in it

A: The Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD Lens and Filter Kit for Nikon F is 10.15 in length. If you are looking for holsters that would hold the camera and lens, I would recommend either the Think Tank Photo Digital Holster 30 V2.0 (Black), B&H # THDH30, or the Manfrotto Pro-Light Access H-18 Camera Holster, B&H # MAPLAH18. The MindShift Gear Multi-Mount Holster 30 (Green and Gray), B&H # MIMMH30, would also work, but would be a slightly snug fit.

Q: 6. Is this lens weather sealed?

A: There is a rubber gasket at the lens mount but otherwise I don't believe there are any claims about weather sealing.

Q: 7. Are there still issues with this lens or had Tamron corrected those problems? I remember when it came out people complained about focusing issues.

A: From what I hear there is actually a new version of this lens. Having that said, I have the old version. Although it has its limitations, for example low light conditions are challenging, but not impossible if you adjust your settings for it, and extreme far away objects get rather soft. I've done some surprisingly nice images of wildlife at as little as 1/250 of a second. Not too shabby.My nikon 400mmlens hunts a lot more than this one. Although it hunts a little when I'm trying to get warblers. I think the only thing I would want to change on it is the location of the manual focus ring. (I like to manual focus)It's a pretty good lens overall and I'm very happy with mine.
