This 6 x 6" Tiffen ND Filter is a solid neutral density filter providing a 1-stop exposure reduction. This 0.3 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 do not affect the coloration of the image and are ideal for pairing with other filters.

This filter is made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass and grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. This filter measures 6 x 6" / 152.4 x 152.4mm.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this filter fit the Canon 70-200 lens?

A: The f/4 version, no. The f/2.8 version, yes.

Q: 2. Does this filter produce a color cast?

A: This is a 2 stop ND filter. The lighter densities typically do not result in any Infra Red (IR) pollution (color shift). This is typically found when using darker density ND filters without any IR protection. These filters are used for long exposures during which both visible and IR light hit your cameras sensor. The IR light causes the color shift (not the filter). If you plan on shooting any ND filters with darker densities we recommend the Tiffen IRND or NATural ND filters, both have IR protection built in.

Q: 3. which clip-on mattebox works with this filter?

A: A rotating filter, like the Tiffen 82mm Variable Neutral Density Filter, is not compatible with clip-on matte boxes.

Q: 4. Does this filter come with a carry case of any kind?

A: Yes, it is supplied with a protective carry case.

Q: 5. will this fit on a Canon XA25 & does it eliminate the subject washout I get from bright/white stage lights?

A: This filter will fit any lens which has a 58mm filter thread. The Tiffen Variable Neutral Density Filter provides two to 8 stops of light control. This means that it limits the amount of light entering your lens. By limiting the amount of light entering your lens you achieve greater control over your camera. You can do long exposures with the VND (blur moving water, clouds, etc) or use it to control your depth of field in bright sun.

Q: 6. Will this work in the lee 4x4 filter holder?

A: Tiffen ND filters are 4mm thick, while Lee filters are 2mm thick. This will work in the Lee holder as long as you have the one which you can modify to accept 4mm filters. Tiffen will be releasing a filter holder designed to hold two 4mm filters within the next few months. Keep an eye out for the Pro 100 Series Filter Holder, coming soon.

Q: 7. what is the thickness?

A: The Tiffen 4 x 6" Water White ND filters are 4mm thick.

Q: 8. Is there a trick for screwing the filter onto the lens and getting the white dot on the top in the middle, so easy to see Min/Max?

A: That is not possible, the dot falls where it may when screwed to a lens.

Q: 9. What is the thickness (in mm) of this filter?

A: The Tiffen 4 x 5.65" Water White ND 1.8 Filter (6-Stop) is 4mm thick.

Q: 10. Im looking to add this to my 17-40 mm lens for a canon 60D. While the 60D isn't a crop camera, and the lens is full frame, it still works well for me. What MM will I need and will it work?

A: This particular filter fits camera lenses with a 58mm filter thread. Please check the filter thread size on your lens to determine the correct size filter to order.
