This 86mm Tiffen Coarse Combination 85B/ND Filter blends both an amber color conversion 85B and a 1.2 neutral density filter. The ND filtration provides a 4-stop exposure reduction for darkening the entire image in order to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than normally required. The 85B filtration covers the entire filter plane and converts the color temperature to 3200K for use with type B (tungsten) film.

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

1.2 Optical Density    ColorCore Technology    Amber 85B and Neutral Density    Warming Filter to Decrease Color Temp    ND Filter to Increase Exposure Length

Combination of both an amber color conversion 85B and a neutral density filter.

1.2 ND filter darkens the image, allowing you to photograph with a longer shutter speed or wider aperture than normally required.

85B filter converts the color temperature to 3200K, allowing you to use type B tungsten-balanced film in daylight situations.

Q: 1. can you get a filter cap to go on it?? thank you, linda

A: Forget using a conventional lens cover. Look into a LensCoat Hoodie.

Q: 2. My sony rx100 mark v has a 52mm filter holder, can this nd filter be used?

A: This filter will fit any camera lens with 52mm filter threads

Q: 3. Will 52 mm work for 50mm prime lens?

A: If your lens has a 52mm filter thread, then it will work.

Q: 4. since this filter use two polarizing filters to achieve blocking of the light, will this cause uneven distribution of the light, depending on the shooting angle?

A: As long as you are within the lens specifications you will not experience any uneven light distribution. I have never had a problem unless using at the dense or dark end of the limit and with a wide focal length on zoom or a wide angle lens

Q: 5. Looking to put this on my voigtlander 17.5mm so I can shoot video at f/2.0 in daylight. With a 3stop ND filter I own, I have to shoot at f/8 to shoot at 1/50 shutter for video. If my math is correct, I would need at least 7 stop filter for f/2.0. When does the infamous cross pattern show up on this filter?

A: Thanks for your interest in the Tiffen VND filter. The X Bar is dependent upon three factors.... the sensor size of your camera, your focal length and your VND setting. There is no way to say when exactly it will happen. The X Bar typically happens when shooting wide angle and when using higher density settings on the VND. This will happen sooner with a full frame sensor. To eliminate the X Bar you would simply adjust your focal length (zoom in), go to a lighter density setting on the VND or a combination of both.The X Bar effect is a product of optical physics and does not indicate that anything is wrong with the VND filter. If it appears you are simply operating outside of the recommended VND parameters.

Q: 6. can it be used for a Sony 24/70 2.8 lens?

A: Yes, this can be used with a Sony FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM lens.

Q: 7. Does this filter fit on 77mm Canon 24-105 f4/L? Or I should some other?

A: I think Canon 24-105 f4/L has 77mm filter thread. This filter should work.

Q: 8. Can the orange lens handles be removed? Thanks

A: The orange handles of the K&F Concept Nano-X Pro Series CPL+ND2-32 Filter (77mm, 1 to 5-Stop) are not made to be easily removed, but they can be removed with a screw driver (purchased separately).

Q: 9. What is the material of the ring? Aluminum? Brass?

A: Aluminum

Q: 10. Can/Should this be used in conjunction with a UV filter?

A: We recommend always having a Tiffen UV filter on your lens. The Tiffen VND can attach to the outside filter threads on the UV filter, however when shooting at wide angle you may experience vignetting. If so, you will have to remove the UV filter and just shoot with the VND.
