The Tiffen 62mm Warm 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. In addition to the diffusion provided, a warming effect is also integrated into the filter helping to further balance skin tones. This filter has a 1/4 density, providing a very subtle 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: 1. Will the auto focus on this lens work with my D90?

A: Yes it will. The D90 has no autofocus restrictions such as other lower tier Nikon cameras do. It will autofocus with any autofocus lens made for the Nikon mount.

Q: 2. Does it work with Canon 5D?

A: Yes, it is compatible with the Canon 5D.

Q: 3. 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: 4. Is this lens compatible with Nikon D3500?

A: Yes, this lens is compatible with the Nikon 3500. Since that camera is a DX/APS-C, the smaller sensor will, in effect, magnify the image. This is a great advantage for people who need to photograph birds or sports.

Q: 5. For the D750, which is the better lens: (1) the Tamron 150-600 FX or (2) the Tamron 150-600 for FX and DX? Price difference is approx $400.

A: I assume you're talking about the (older) Tamron SP 150-600 versus the (newer) 150-600 G2? The supported sensor sizes are the same. Any lens that covers an FX sensor (like your D750 has) will also cover the smaller DX sensor (like my D5200).As for which is better, the G2 has some improvements, but nothing I couldn't live without, and the extra $400 would've broken my budget. I'm quite happy with my (non-G2) lens and the extra money in my pocket.

Q: 6. will this auto focus on d5300 pl?

Q: 10. Understand the tripod collar for the 150-600 has a 3/8 screw. Would you know what plate is available for use with an Induro tripod Model AKB2 - believe it has a BH2M type ballhead? Thanks.

A: Sorry, but I have no clue. Someone at B&H might be able to give you the answer.Mark
