The Tiffen 86mm CC20M Magenta Filter is a color compensating (or color correction) filter for use when making color balance adjustments. It can be used to alter the color balance of a scene by placing in front of a light source or the lens of your camera. It can also be used to apply color corrections when used in the darkroom with an enlarger or to help pre-visualize color adjustments when viewing prints.

Magenta is the opposite of green and can be used to reduce green tones or casts within a scene or print. This magenta CC20 is more dense than a CC10 filter and less dense than a CC30 filter, and requires a 0.3 stop compensation for normal exposure results.

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, then mounting to precision metal rings.

Q: 1. Is this lens compatible with the D5000?

A: I have a Nikon D5100 and it works well with it. but It does hunt for focus slowly at max zoom. One other odd problem is that when the built-in flash is used, the lens casts a shadow at max wide.

Q: 2. Is this compatible with the Nikon D3300?

Q: 3. I currently have a Canon EF-S 18-135mm (f/3.5-5.6) IS STM lens and a Canon EF 70-300mm IS USM lens that I use on my 70D. Q1) Is this Tamron 16-300mm lens as sharp as my 18-135mm lens? If not, where would the difference be most noticeable?Q2) Since the Tamron 16-300mm is designed for APS-C cameras and my EF 70-300 is designed for full-frame cameras, will I get clearer images from the Tamron throughout the 70-300mm range? If not, where would the difference be most noticeable?

A: I have the same camera and lenses you have and I did buy the Tamron 16-300mm too - more for the convenience of traveling with one lens. While I am not super knowledgable (still learning!!), what I did notice is that when I took pictures with my Canon 70-300mm at the 300mm range, then took the exact picture in the exact spot with the Tamron lens, the picture taken with the Tamron lens is NOT as close. There is definitely a difference. As far as clarity, I do not see a differnce, but again, I'm not super knowledgable in being able to pick out the differences. I've had a Tamron lens in the past with a different camera and was very satisfied with the quality as well as the customer service and support when I encountered an issue. I'm keeping all three lenses - absolutely love the convenience of the 16-300mm range on the Tamron when wanting to travel light, but I still fall back to my Canon 18-135mm when taking pictures of the grandkids, and will continue to fall back to my Canon 70-300mm when I know I'm doing longer range shots only.

Q: 4. Is the Tamron 16-300 mm lens compatible with the TAP-in console?

Q: 5. Is it compatible with full frame camera - canon 6d?

A: I don't think it is compatible w 6d. the info says for APS-C cameras, and the rear probably protrudes into the sensor area like Canon EF-S lenses do. Tamron makes a 28-300 lens for full-frame bodies.

Q: 9. Will it work with the Metabones SpeedBooster EF for Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera?

A: All I can offer is that the Tamron 16-300mm lens is designed to fit the Canon APS-C mount. If other ASP-C lenses fit the Metabones, then this one will as well. I use the Tamron lens on my Canon 80D, which is an APS-C camera.

Q: 10. Can I use this for Canon D7

A: I believe you mean the Canon 7D. The Canon 7D and Tamron 16-300mm are fully compatible together.
