The Tiffen 4 x 4" 1 Grape Soft-Edge Graduated Filter helps to specifically add a cool, purplish 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 1 color density provides less grape coloration than the 2 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 4 x 4" / 101.6 x 101.6mm.

1 Density Color Graduated Filter    Grape Coloring in Select Areas    Soft-Step Graduation    ColorCore Technology

Provides a cool purplish 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: 3. Is this compatible with D90and also what it means when it say (reproduction ratio is 1:2.9)

A: Yes, that is compatible with the Nikon D90.Lenses have a ratio for magnification. Most prime macro lenses are 1:1 and that is about the best for a macro lens.
