The DV Select Kit 3 from Tiffen contains everything you need to get that spectacular outdoor shot or scenic portrait.

A Solid Neutral Density 0.6 (2-stop) Filter from Tiffen has several uses and offers the possibility to achieve otherwise unachievable results. It enables the shooter to adjust exposure without affecting color balance. An ND filter appears gray and reduces the amount of light reaching either the sensor of a digital camera or the film plane of a traditional film camera.

A Neutral Density filter is used to create some unusual special effects such as capturing the "blur" of the rippling water of a waterfall or the swirling effect of city traffic. Since it allows the use of slower shutter speeds in bright light, it becomes possible to create these special effects that would normally not be possible to capture without the filter. And, since it can also help to control your depth of field, it permits you to shoot at wider apertures. Ultimately, its value is in helping to prevent bright, overly washed out images shot in bright light.

Determining which neutral density filter yields ideal results for any given lighting situation takes knowledge, experience and a collection of such filters. Choose the filter strength which adjusts the lighting to stay within the exposure latitude (greatest difference between bright/dark values) which still shows details in both of the digital or film medium in use.

Black ProMist
is part of the Hollywood FX series of filters. The Black Pro-Mist creates moderate image softening and modest-to-strong highlight flare, but without as much of a lightening effect in the shadow areas.

Here's another tool to add to your portrait arsenal. As part of Tiffen's award-winning series of FX filters, the Black Pro-Mist gives you the option to add another dimension to your images.

Part of the difference between a run-of-the-mill photograph and a "great" photograph is the attention to detail - and with the Tiffen Pro-Mist series of filters, you can tweak your images just enough to set them apart from everyone else's. Speaking generally, the 2-stop value (ND 0.6 - the filter's clear portion allows 4x more light to pass vs. darkest portion) effectively compensates average bright sky-to-foreground situations, and the soft transition is applicable more often to a scene than the hard transition.

Circular Polarizer
Tiffen's Polarizing filters are used to select which light rays enter your camera lens. They can remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water or glass and also saturate colors providing better contrast. The effect can be seen through the viewfinder and changed by rotating the filter. The filter factor varies according to how the filter is rotated and its orientation to the sun.

Tiffen's ColorCore glass is produced through a process that entails permanently laminating the filter material in between two pieces of optical glass that are ground flat to tolerances of a ten-thousandth of an inch, then mounting them in precision aluminum rings

To decrease depth of field by allowing wider apertures to be used, which helps separate subjects from their background

To decrease the effective ISO of high speed film (above ISO 400) and allow it to be used outdoors in bright situations

Q: 1. I just bought this battery for my C70. When I fully charge the battery the C70 says it only has 236 minutes of runtime. A Canon BP-A60 will show around 350 minutes fully charged. What is going on, why are these reading differently?

A: compatibility with 3rd party batteries is NOT guaranteed by canon

Q: 2. Can I use it with Leica M Monochrom (the first one)?

A: According to the manufacturer, the Match Technical EP-10S Thumbs Up Grip for Leica M (Typ 240) and M (Typ 262) (Black), B&H # MATUEP10SB, would be the correct Thumbs Up Grip designed for use with the Leica M Monochrom Digital Camera.

Q: 3. Is the SmallRig Counterweight Kit (3125) compatible with Crane M3 S?

Q: 4. Can the D-Tap be used to power other accessories or only as a charging port?

A: I had a BLUESHAPE employee confirm this over the phone. In and out power.

Q: 5. Will this communicate with a C200 and provide accurate battery status? My other non-canon brands will basically turn out of moser and kill the camera with no warning.

A: Canon does not provide support or endorse any 3rd party batteries. Canon has a history of being rather strict when it comes to 3rd party accessories. 3rd party batteries offer the potential for significant savings in cost however they also come with more risk. Canon's firmware could potentially lock out a battery that it can not authenticate as an official product.. This will reduce the functionality or result in the camera turning off with no warning as you described. Canon does this to prevent their cameras from being damaged by cheap knock off batteries but unfortunately it also affects batteries from reputable companies such as Blueshape. Because of this we can not guarantee that this Blueshape battery will perform any better or worse than the 3rd party battery that you have already tried. if you want the best results we recommend using official Canon Batteries.

Q: 6. Does this fit a Fuji X100T and are buttons accessible when using the grip?

A: There are 2 thumbgrips available from B&H. One is approx.6cm long and the other is approx. 4.5cm long. I have both. The longer one fits my X Pro1 and the shorter one fits my X-E2. You should order the shorter one because the dimensions of the X100T and the X-E2 are almost identical. I hope the answer is satisfactory.

Q: 7. Can you power the camera via the normal battery connection and power an accessory via the d-tap at the same time?

A: Yes you can.

Q: 8. Does this work on the RS3 Pro?

Q: 9. How do I make this fit around the M2's bulb sync port? It is directly below the cold shoe and the only way I can think to do it is remove the rubber strip, but even then, it still does not fit all the way into the cold shoe mount, not to mention no longer protecting the finish on the top cover. Any suggestions?

A: Unfortunately the Match Technical EP-1S is not compatible with the Leica M2.

Q: 10. Does work with canon eos c 100 mark 2?

A: No, this battery will not work with the C100 MKII.
