The 6 x 4" Graduated Sunset 2 Filter from Tiffen is an exciting filter. It enhances reality, adding a touch of subtlety or drama to the image. When you can't get to the southwest for that awesome sunset, this filter will come in handy. Your friends will think you were on assignment for a travel magazine.

Sometimes it is also desirable to add color to part of the photograph. For example, to add an orange/yellow tint to bump up the effect and punch of the sky. Tiffen Color Graduated filters are half-color, half-clear, with a graduated transition for blending into the scene. Tiffen Graduated Sunset filters are available in grades from 1-3, with 3 having the greatest effect.

The Graduated Sunset 2 filter will provide a multi-layered sunset effect with a red sky blending down into orange and then yellow, with the bottom of the filter clear. The 2 version increases contrast and provides more intensity to the image.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. 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.

Q: 2. When it will be available ? It's written pre-order for a few months now.

A: Unfortunately we still have not received an ETA from Tamron as of yet.

Q: 3. Is this a wide angle lens?

A: No. It’s telephoto.

Q: 4. Will this lens auto focus with Nikon D3100?

A: Yes, it will autofocus with the Nikon D3100. The lens features Tamrons USD UltraSonic Drive Motor to autofocus with the D3100.

Q: 5. Will all camera functions work properly if this lens is used with the Canon EOS Rebel T2i and the Canon Extender EF-1.4xll?

A: The Canon extenders are only compatible with a select number of Canons pro level telephoto lenses; they are not compatible with lenses from other manufacturers such as the Tamron 150-600mm. You would need to use a third party teleconverter with this lens (Tamron, Kenko, Vivitar, etc.). Autofocus will not be supported, so you will need to manually focus the lens. http://bhpho.to/1pzmipP

Q: 6. can u use on eos70d

A: Yes, the lens is fully compatible with the 70D.

Q: 7. is this lens compatible with Nikon D80?

A: The Tamron 150-600mm lens for Nikon is compatible with the D80.

Q: 8. Will this lens work with a Cannon EOS Rebel t4i?

A: Yes, the Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD Lens for Canon will work with the Canon Eos Rebel T4i. Auto focus and aperture control will be available. Because of the APS-C sensor in the Canon T4i one needs to factor in the 1.6 crop factor, the actual 35mm equivalent focal length is 240mm-960mm.

Q: 9. Will the auto focus work on a Nikon 5100

A: Yes. Since the Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD Lens for Nikon features an internal auto-focus motor, it will maintain AF capability on all Nikon Digital bodies. This includes your D5100.

Q: 10. will it work on my EOS-3?

A: If your camera accepts the standard canon lens it will accept the Tamron, I have used it on a 6D, T2i and a XSi. Good Luck.
