This 43mm Tiffen Water White Glass IRND Filter is an ND filter with a 32x filter factor that provides a 5-stop exposure reduction. Its 1.5 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than normally required. By increasing your aperture or slowing your exposure time, you are able to control depth of field and convey movement more easily. Neutral density filters are intended to not affect the coloration of the image and are ideal for pairing with other filters.

The design of this filter has been optimized for use with digital sensors and to promote nearly flat attenuation of visible light and infrared light. Due to imaging sensors' greater susceptibility to infrared light, compared to traditional film, color casts can occur when photographing darker subjects that require increased exposure times.

This filter is constructed from Water White glass for increased clarity as well as color fidelity. It is made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and then mounting to precision metal rings.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this have external or internal threads? I need to screw it into an adapter.

A: Yes, it has front and back 67mm threads.

Q: 2. Considering how cheap this filter is, would I be able to put this on my 24-105mm and have the quality and sharpness remain the same?

A: I believe any filter added to a lens lowers the quality but not enough to be noticeable unless you are really pixel peeking. That being said, I can detect no loss of quality with this filter. I use it on my Nikon 16-35 for landscapes without hesitation.

Q: 3. I am buying the following lens: TAMRON SP 24-70MM F/2.8 DI VC USD G2 LENS FOR NIKON. I know that 82MM is the correct size and I read that it does have threads to stack another filter. My question is will the Tamron Lens cap still attach to this filter or does a new cover need to be purchased? Thanks for your time!

A: Yeah it will still fit

Q: 4. Will this filter fit the sigma 18-200mm DC OS HSM lens for Canon EOS cameras?

A: Yes, the Tiffen 62mm Circular Polarizing filter will fit the Sigma 18-200mm for Canon EOS.

Q: 5. Will this filter touch the glass on a Pentax 24-70mm D-FA?

A: No. The following filter will not touch the front element of the lens.

Q: 6. Can this be used on manual mode as well as automatic?

A: The short answer is yes. When you use it on manual you will find you need to increase your basic exposure by at least 1 stop, possibly a little more. On automatic, you MAY also find you need to add a little exposure; you can override your auto setting by a 1/3 to 2/3 stops.

Q: 7. I have a Nikon D5500 with a lens 18- 140mm mm . I purchased this filter and It does not fit !!!! :-( Am I doing something wrong? can I exchange it?

A: I believe the filter thread diameter for this lens is 67mm, not 77mm. You should be able to return it if within the allowable time frame. Good luck.

Q: 8. Is this compatible for Fujifilm XE3 55mm and 35mm f/2 lens? If not, which one would be?

A: No, this is too large. If you're referring to the XF 56mm F1.2 lens that takes a 62mm filter, and the XF 35mm F2 takes a 43mm filter. The front of most Fujifilm lenses indicate the filter size they'd take, it is the number after the ⌀ symbol, so if you see a ⌀43 it means it is 43mm filter and so on.

Q: 9. does this fit nikon af-s nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6e ed vr lens?

A: The Nikon 200-500mm lens uses 85mm filters so you would need this one instead: https://bhpho.to/3YppSIB

Q: 10. Does it come with a case for storage?
