The Tiffen 5 x 6" 5 Cool Blue Soft-Edge Graduated Filter helps to specifically add a cool, purplish-blue 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 5 color density provides more cool blue coloration than the 4 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 5 x 6" / 127 x 152.4mm.

Note: A horizontal orientation filter's line of transition runs parallel to the long side of the filter.

5 Density Color Graduated Filter    Cool Blue Coloring in Select Areas    Soft-Step Graduation    ColorCore Technology

Provides a deep cool blue 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: 6. Is this item new in the box?

A: This specific sku or item is just for the bare drive. Came to me packaged decently, but it's not a retail box and does not come with any accessories or software. I think it came with screws, but you will need to provide a sata cable and power cable, and if you intend on using this drive to watch blu ray movies (which Im sure you will obviously), you need to purchase blu ray playback software like Powerdvd ultra. After connecting my drive and installing the powerdvd ultra software, things work great! Not one problem in the 6 months Ive had it.

Q: 8. Is there a one to one comparison of this lens vs the Sigma 150-600mm f/5.6-6.3 somewhere on B&H (i.e. actual users who have experience with both lenses, rather than online detailed technical reviews)?

A: Not really, no. While each lens has a Reviews tab where customers who own the lens in question may post their review or experience with the lens, we do not have a side-by-side comparison from customers, and most people do not purchase both lenses. If you wish, you may purchase the lenses to do you own comparison, or you may use a rental website such as a href= http://lensrentels.com target= _blank lensrentels.com/a to see if they have both options available. Otherwise, you would have to use Google to search for reviews from users who have used both lenses, but we have no one spot on our website designed for this usage other than the Reviews tab on the lens' webpage.
