The Tiffen 6.6 x 6.6" 2 Cranberry Hard-Edge Graduated Filter helps to specifically add a magenta-like, pinkish-red 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 hard-edged transition between the density and clear areas. The 2 color density provides less cranberry 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 6.6 x 6.6" / 167.6 x 167.6mm.

2 Density Color Graduated Filter    Cranberry Coloring in Select Areas    Hard-Step Graduation    ColorCore Technology

Provides a reddish magenta 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: 1. Is this lens better than using 2 separate lenses? i.e. 18-55mm and 75-300mm?

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.

Q: 2. Hi there, Does the lens come with an international warranty and if so what is the number of years?Thanks!
