The Tiffen 4 x 5.65" 2 Skyfire Graduated Filter helps to specifically add a unique orange to yellow gradient 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 2 color density provides less skyfire coloration than the 3 density, but more than the 1 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 5.65" / 101.6 x 143.5mm.

Note: A horizontal orientation filter's line of transition runs parallel to the long side of the filter.

2 Density Color Graduated Filter    Orange to Yellow Gradient    Soft-Step Graduation    ColorCore Technology

Provides a unique orange to yellow gradient across half of the filter plane.

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: 8. Keep the 70 to 300 Is stm when you convert into a 35 mm format You would be getting one 05 mm to 450 In reality you would be duplicating the Tamron as far as the reach. Which is 35 mm terms is 24 to 450 Tamron lens are great because you don't have to change them it's more or less one lens. However the Tamron is very dark and it will not give you the sharpness that you are now getting in your's canon 70 mm to 300 mm. s I know that you would not to like changing lenses. But in this case it's best to stay with what you have right now. You're 18 to 135 mm STM is about two times sharper than a Tamron I keep the same lens as you have which is 18 to 135 STM on the camera most of the time. The Tamron's macro is OK however the only way the macros going to work is if you have it on a tripod. In the final analysis stay with what you have in both cases they are sharper than the Tamron.

A: actually use this lens on a sony, needed to replace a 18-250 lens. good walk around lens, super sharpness was not a requirement, just zoom range. if i need the sharpness i switch to a prime lens, 85mm or 135mm works very well depending how much room you have to work.
