The Tiffen 82mm Black Diffusion/FX 1/4 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. This filter has a 1/4 density, providing the least 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: 8. 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: 9. I have a T4i, APS-C. I understand the lens will work with my camera but my question is HOW WELL WILL IT WORK WITH IT? Anyone with personal experience? Thanks, Steve

A: I have a 70d and t4i. Works great. My canon 100-400 focuses faster but the reach of the tamron cant be beat for that price.

Q: 10. Anyone have experience with Tamron's warranty service? I got one of the first batches of this lens and understand mine needs a firmware upgrade to fix focusing issues with some bodies. I know it stalls (AF doesn't engage) on my 5D3 periodically. Seems to work fine on 7D2. Also, dust is gathering under the front element.

A: If you are having an issue with the lens and you are within the 30 day return period please contact customer service, Sales 800.606.6969 or 212.444.6615.Or you can contact Tamron.
