The Tiffen 67mm Ultra Contrast 1/8 Filter can be applied to purposely reduce contrast while photographing an image or while recording video. By distributing ambient illumination to darker areas within a scene, this filter is useful in helping to uniformly balance the tonal range among highlights and shadows. Detail is increased within shadow regions while flare and halation around highlights is purposely limited.

This filter has a grade of 1/8. Grades of 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are also available where this filter type's effect becomes approximately twice as strong with each grade number increase.

This filter is made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass and grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch.

Q: 1. Would it make sense to use these filters on a digital camera shooting in B&W mode? I experimented holding up a red filter from my old B&W film days on a Sony pocket camera and the results looked promising. Now I have a Canon SX50HS and would like to get screw-on filters but think when I learn how to use it better there may be a way to filter it internally. Would a polarizer do basically the same thing?

A: While it is entirely possible to use these filters with a DSLR in b+w mode, it will not be the same as shooting black and white film, as a digital camera shoots in RGB and then converts to a black and white profile. If you do choose to use these filters with a DSLR shooting in black and white, you will need to set a custom white balance as well, as the camera will see the green/red/yellow and try to correct for them in auto white balance or other preset white balance modes. Additionally, another option you can try is to shoot your images in RGB mode, and then in post production, particularly in Adobe Photoshop, add a B&W layer or a Channel Mixer layer to obtain a more accurate black and white image. A circular polarizer will work as well.

Q: 10. So I have this for my Panasonic HCX1 but no matter what I do it won't focus. Is they any fish eye lens for 67mm HCX1?

A: It will be optimal to use fixed focus with the Panasonic HC-X1 Ultra HD 4K Professional Camcorder and the Opteka 67mm 0.3X HD Ultra Fisheye Lens Adapter. If the lens is still causing an issue, consider working with a larger filter thread and a step-up ring, as 67mm fish eye options are limited. The Opteka 72mm 0.3X HD Ultra Fisheye Lens Adapter is an example. See the link below: https://bhpho.to/3XAqJnA
