This Series 9 Tiffen Water White Glass ND Filter is a solid neutral density filter providing a 5-stop exposure. This 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 can control depth of field and convey movement more easily. Neutral density filters do not affect the coloration of the image and are ideal for pairing with other filters.

This filter is constructed from Water White glass and 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. This filter is compatible with Series 9 filter holders.

Q: 1. What’s the transmission value of this filter? Thanks

A: Filter Factor 2.3x (1.2-Stop) to 2.8x (1.5-Stop)

Q: 2. Can a lens hood be used with this filter, specifically for a sony 24-70 2.8 v1?

A: No, the Nano-X Variable ND filter will not work on the Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 GM I with the lens hood on. Both the polarizing and variable ND knobs on the filter prevent the lens hood from mounting on the camera. If you use fixed ND filters, you can use the lens hood.

Q: 3. How does this compare to the wide angle low profile filter that is about $40 cheaper? Which one is recommended for videography/filmmaking?

A: The wide angle version is meant for wide angle lenses to prevent vignetting. Otherwise, both versions have the same purpose in mind.

Q: 4. I'm looking for a 62mm polarizing filter for a 18-250 zoom I recently bought at B & H, on top of wanting a decent one I want one with a solid lens cap, I will be leaving this on the lens allot and a good filter is not much use if it is dirty or scratched. I previously bought B+W that had a useless plastic cap that would not stay on. Will the sigma lens cap attach to this or does it come with a decent one?

A: The Tiffen 62mm Digital HT (High Transmission) Circular Polarizing Multi-Coated Filter is front threaded at 62mm's so you will be able to use the Sigma lens cap as designed.

Q: 5. What is the Low Profile Titanium Lock Ring? Is this a way of locking the filter, to stop it rotating?

A: The lock ring holds the glass in the main filter ring. It is low profile to avoid vignetting. This has nothing to do with the rotation of the filter for polarization.

Q: 6. I have this filter in the 55mm size but the lens caps that I have will not stay on for more than a few seconds, the slightest pressure on them pops the cap off the lens. Anybody find a lens cap brand/model that works with this filter?

Q: 7. What is the thickness of the 77mm Digital HT (High Transmission) Circular Polarizing Multi-Coated Filter by Tiffen? I plan to use it on a 17MM lens and want to make sure there is no vignetting.

Q: 8. Will this filter work with both a 58mm tele lens and 18mm wide lens?

A: This filters can work with any lens that has a 67mm front thread. However, you may experience vignetting on wider lenses.
