Tiffen 5 X 6" 1 Skyfire Graduated Filter (vertical Orientation)

The Tiffen 5 x 6" 1 Skyfire Graduated Filter helps to specifically add a unique orange to yellow gradient to skies and other bright areas of an image while allowing a portion of the image to remain neutrally colored. The filter's coloring is densest at the edge and tapers to clear by the middle, with a soft-edged transition between the density and clear areas. The 1 color density provides less skyfire coloration than the 2 density filter.

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. It measures 5 x 6" / 127 x 152.4mm.

Note: A vertical orientation filter's line of transition runs parallel to the short side of the filter.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. does this includes the two batteries ?

A: No, the batteries are additional.

Q: 2. How to prevent it from getting loose? I've been using the camera with BlackRapid strap so worrying the camera will fall off without attention.

A: I have never had a problem with it. Perhaps you have a bad one.

Q: 3. Can the grip work with only one battery?

A: This grip has the ability to hold two NP-FZ100 batteries.

Q: 4. what's the weight limit?

A: With the Vertical Camera Bracket, the weight limit is very much dependent on your tripod and not the bracket itself. As long as you have a secure connection to your tripod and the weight is within the range you will be fine.

Q: 5. The base plate on the A7Riii and A9 are not sealed. Will this provide improved weatherproofing in this area when fitted?

A: No. I can see light between the bottom of the body and the grip with it fully tightened down. If anything the body is less weather sealed with the grip attached.

Q: 6. Will this grip also work on the a7riv?

A: No, you will need the VG-C4EM.

Q: 7. Would this work to get a 90 degree angle straight down for an overhead shot? Would it be safe to mount the camera straight down on the outside of it?

A: This bracket is strong enough to hold your camera in any direction (it is made of solid CNC Machined Aluminum). We recommend using a safety cable whenever mounting equipment in an overhead position above people.

Q: 8. Does this work with the A7R IIIa?

A: Yes. This will only fit the A7RIII/A7RIIIA, A7III, and A9 cameras.

Q: 9. Will this be the grip for the NEW Sony Alpha A7Siii ??

A: Yes, this grip is compatible with the A7Siii.

Q: 10. What does the bottom of the grip look like?

A: Plain flat bottom with 1/4 -20 threaded socket near middle(I have a tripod mount plate attached on mine). Visible from the bottom, but on the end opposite from the gtip is an indentation with a crossbar for attaching retention strap.

Well made and a true neutral gray. A must have when shooting landscapes. I'll never leave home without it.

I didn't want anything less than a .6 and I'm glad I went with this one. With this filter I can shoot into the sun at 3PM for environmental portraits and still have enough shadow detail that a slight relight effect in post makes for a great shot, and I still get a deep blue sky. The effect is pronounced enough you can easily see when you have it oriented right. I do wish it came with a hard plastic case instead of the slip pouch.

Now it's so much fun to shoot into the sun light, blocking the top half with this graduated filter. More natural looking than shooting HDR. Because it's multi-coated, it's harder to clean but I've been using an alcohol swab and microfiber with no problem. Sturdy and comes with a nice case. I use it mostly with my Nikon D90 with 18-200 DX lens and a step-up ring. When I use it on my 11-16 mm Tokina wide angle lens without step-up ring, I can see the ring at 4 corners at 11 mm, but I can fix it with vignette correction.

I've got to admit, I was a little skeptical about spending that much money on a filter that I had no experience with and had heard mixed reviews about (graduated ND filters in general). Now, however, I can't help but remember how I struggled without one. The biggest negative that I had heard about some of the less expensive ones was that you couldn't really rotate the filter to a point where you needed the ND to be; this filter's glass does rotate.

Good quality feel and just what I needed for most situations of extreme dynamic range. Works good with 77mm and 67mm size lens. I like the silver frame.... helps distinguish from other filers.

Originally, I heard that Tiffen filters were junk. Not true! This is probably one of the best ND grad filters available. All glass unlike the B&W or Hoya. And MADE IN AMERICA!

Graduated filters either work well or they don't and I use this particular filter when I have pale blue skies or need to darken up the background or for shooting a graduated background. Photoshop aside, there are times when it's best to make the effect on site and this does a great job. It would be nice if Tiffen would make a small handle to help turn the filter. I have tendency to fingerprint the surface when turning it.

It works best (for me) on my sunrise over the lake pics. Adds the balance one would want and keeps the glare off the water. And what a SOLID filter. No corners cut on quality. No complaints as of yet.

USE: The Tiffen HT ND is for sure a fantastic filter for controlling the sky within the dynamic range of the sensor. Just great!
