This 58mm Tiffen Water White Glass IRND Filter is an ND filter with a 64x filter factor that provides a 6-stop exposure reduction. Its 1.8 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 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: 2. 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: 3. 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

Q: 4. 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: 5. Can another filter be stacked on top of this?

A: Yes, Kolari Vision Pro IRND Filter (95mm, 2-Stop) has a 95mm front and back threads. You can connect filters or lens caps to the front threads.

Q: 6. Can this be used as a drop-in filter (with the threaded drop-in) with Canon 300mm f2.8L IS USM II & 600mm f4L IS USM II lenses?

A: Yes, the Hoya HD MKII IR ND8 Neutral Density Filter (52mm) can be used as a drop-in Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM Lens and the Canon EF 600mm f/4L IS II USM Lens.

Q: 7. Will a stock lens cap and lens hood for a Fujifilm X-T20 fit?

A: Because the filter is a slim design with no front threads, it's likely that your stock lens cap will not securely fit. If it does manage to grab the inside of the filter, the hold would be loose as the rim is very shallow. It does come with a easy to use magnetic lens cap. As for the hood, because the filter is the same diameter front to back, it should work with most lens hoods without obstruction of the bayonet mount. However, as lens hood design vary, it's impossible to say without situational testing.

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 the Hoya MKII IRD have front threads in order to mount additional NDs ?

A: Yes, the Hoya HD MKII IR ND1000 Neutral Density Filter includes front filter threads so you can attach additional ND filters or a protective lens cap.

Q: 10. is it stackable? meaning, if you wanted to stack a black pro mist on top or some there 77mm filter, can you do it? or would those have to go before the ND?

A: These are not front threaded and do not allow any filters to be attached to the front. Any additional filters you would want to use would need to go behind this filter. Though always watch out for vignetting which can happen when stacking to many filters.
