This 125mm Coarse Tiffen ND Filter is a solid ND filter with a filter factor of 3x that provides a 1.6-stop exposure reduction. Its 0.5 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than normally required. By slowing your exposure time or increasing your aperture, you are able to control depth of field and convey movement more easily. Neutral density filters do not affect the coloration of the image and are ideal for pairing with other filters.

This filter is 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, and then mounting to precision metal rings.

Q: 1. Will this work with the Red Komodo?

A: The DZOFilm Marlin 1.6x Expander for PL Lens to RF-Mount Camera doesn't really serve a purpose on the RED DIGITAL CINEMA KOMODO 6K Digital Cinema Camera (Canon RF) since the camera is a Super 35mm sensor and the DZOFilm Marlin is designed for the use of Super35mm lenses on full frame sensors. If you want PL to RF mount adapter with a full frame look on the RED DIGITAL CINEMA KOMODO 6K Digital Cinema Camera (Canon RF), consider the Metabones ARRI PL Lens to Canon RF-Mount T Cine Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x (EOS-R).

Q: 6. I shoot a Nikon F2AS, the last fully mechanical F series film camera Nikon made. Since this is a manual lens with an F mount, would it work on this camera?
