This 58mm 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.

Q: 1. Will this filter work in a Lee Foundations filter holder?

A: Yes it does

Q: 2. Do these come with the magnetic base or is that a separate purchase?

Q: 3. The 2-5 or 5-9 On a sony 18-105 g lens? Mostly for video and some photos

A: Which option you choose would depend on the ambient lighting conditions you plan to be in and your camera's metered exposure. The range between your metered aperture and your required working aperture would determine which would work best for your shooting environment. That being said, if you are not sure which to start with, I would recommend the 2 to 5 stop variable neutral density filter for your usage needs. Do note that this filter may be returned within 30 days of purchase date for a refund or exchange, so if it happens to not be strong enough for you, you have 30 days from the purchase date to return the filter for an exchange or refund.

Q: 4. Does this go with the NiSi 82mm Swift VND Mist Kit 1-9 Stops (1-5-Stop VND, 4-Stop ND, Black Mist 1/4)?

A: The NiSi 82mm HUC PRO Nano IRND 1.8 Filter (6-Stop) can be used on any lens or filter that has an 82mm filter thread. It does not use the Nisi Swift Friction Mount System.

Q: 5. one paragraph specifically says "This filter IS designed for direct solar viewing" then another paragraph says it is NOT ?

A: The Kolari Vision Pro IRND Filter (20-Stop, 77mm) does not allow direct solar viewing with your bare eyes/optical viewfinder. It allows for solar photography.

Q: 6. Does the IR cut cause vignetting on wide angle lenses? I'd like to use this on the Tokina 11-20mm.

A: You may get some vignetting on the wide end.

Q: 7. hello     I wanted to ask about the  (Freewell Bright Day Variable Neutral Density 1.8 to 2.7 Filter (6 to 9-Stop  (and the Freewell  VND 0.6 to 1.5 Filter (2 to 5-Stop I wanted to ask if the Freewell filters have a front filter threads to connect to them Other filter like a diffusion filter.i I want to put a diffusion filter on front the vnd Freewell filter,? Is it possible 

A: They do not have threads on the front.

Q: 8. Would this ND filter be suitable for solar event photography?

A: The K&F Concept Nano-X Pro Green ND1000 Filter (105mm) should not be used for solar photography. ND alone does not block the harmful rays that can damage eyes and camera sensors. For solar photography, use a solar filter that is 12312-2 ISO certified. Filters with this certification will stop more than 99.999% of intense light, plus 100% of harmful IR and UV radiation.

Q: 9. Does anyone know what it's: "IR Attenuation" ?

A: IR attenuation in the Ice 82mm Slim IRND1000 Filter (10-Stop) means that the filter reduces the amount of infrared light that can reach the camera sensor.

Q: 10. Does the ring "snap" to each stop?

A: The Freewell 67mm Standard Day Variable Neutral Density 0.6 to 1.5 Filter (2 to 5-Stop) does not "snap" to each stop
