The Tiffen 3 x 4" Blue 2 Soft Edge Graduated Filter is a soft-edged graduated color filter providing a bluish color across the image, giving a cooling effect for your photographs. The 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. The 2 density provides less of a blue cast than the 3 density filter, but more than the 1 density.

Tiffen filters are 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. This filter measures 3 x 4" / 76.2 x 101.6mm and features a horizontal orientation; meaning the filter's line of transition runs parallel to the long side of the filter.

A: I gave this lens to my daughter, this is what she wrote:Depending on what you want your aperture to be, I myself prefer using only one lens due to simplicity and laziness. If you need to take a lot of photos in dim light, I'd buy two different lenses with a more sensitive aperture; but for the everydayuse without the requirement of low f-numbers, I enjoy the wide range of possibilities this lens gives. I have several other lenses, but I barely use them since this one covers the wide range of angle of view and so most of my needs. So, I'd day 'yes', for me, this is a better lens.
