This 4 x 5.65" 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 4 x 5.65" / 101.6 x 143.5mm.

Q: 5. Does anyone else get a grinding noise/feeling like a tiny piece of sand or metal in in between the gliding rings? Should I take it back and exchange it? Haven't had it for more than a day. Also seems like the oil in between the rings comes out rather easily. Functions fine, but if it's defective I want a normal one.

A: The VND filters should not grind and oil should not leak, this is the first time I have heard of these problems with a VND. Our apologies, but it sounds like your filter is defective.

Q: 6. Is this filter compatible with the Moment M-series lens - 67mm filter adapter?

A: No, the Tiffen 62mm Variable Neutral Density Filter is not the correct size for the Moment M-Series Lens 67mm Filter Mount. One would need to get the Tiffen 67mm Variable Neutral Density Filter, BH #TIVND67 (https://bhpho.to/3FUZ4GR).

Q: 7. Is this compatible with the Moment Cinebloom filter? Can I use both at the same time?

A: While this could be screwed into the front of a Moment 72mm CineBloom filter, there is a chance of vignetting on wide angle lenses.

Q: 10. 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.
