This 82mm Tiffen Water White Glass NATural IRND Filter is a neutral density filter with a 2x filter factor that provides a 1-stop exposure reduction. Its 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 are intended to not affect the coloration of the image and are ideal for pairing with other filters.

The design of this filter has been optimized for use with digital sensors and to promote nearly flat attenuation of visible light and infrared light. Due to imaging sensors' greater susceptibility to infrared light, compared to traditional film, color casts can occur when photographing darker subjects that require increased exposure times.

This filter is noncoated, is constructed from Water White glass for increased clarity, and features an aluminum-alloy filter ring for durability while remaining lightweight. It 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.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this fit on a Canon RF 24-105mm L lens? Without touching the glass?

A: Yes it fits on any lens that has a 77mm filter thread such as the Canon RF 24-105mm f4 L lens.

Q: 2. Does it get stuck to the lens often?

A: At this writing we have not had issues with the Haida PROII CPL-VND 2-in-1 Filter (82mm).

Q: 3. Is this filter recommended for digital cameras as well, like the Lumix FZ200?

A: Yes, the Tiffen 52mm Digital HT (High Transmission) Circular Polarizing Multi-Coated Filter is compatible with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200 Digital Camera and would fit onto the 52mm filter threads on the front of the lens, and would be recommended for usage to reduce or eliminate glare and reflections from non-metallic items and (depending on your position and the position of the sun) can also darken/deepen the blue in the sky on blue sunny days. By removing glare, it would also slightly increase teh color saturation and contrast of your image.

Q: 4. Does it hav front filter threads, for stacking other filters/hoods?

A: The Moment 77mm Variable Neutral Density 1.8 to 2.7 Filter (6 to 9-Stop) does not have front filter threads.

Q: 5. What color aberrations are there?

A: The Moment 67mm Variable Neutral Density 0.6 to 1.5 Filter (2 to 5-Stop) does not exhibit and color aberrations.

Q: 6. 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: 7. Is this filter waterproof ?

A: The Cokin 82mm NUANCES Variable ND Filter (1 to 8-Stop) won't be harmed by a few drops of water, but it's a good idea to avoid submerging it in water.

Q: 8. Can the Expodisk v3 be purchased with both the 82 mm and the 77 mm Step-down Rings?

A: Yes the ExpoDisc V3 Professional White Balance Filter can be used with step rings but you can also just hold the larger filter over the smaller lens to take the reference photo. It does not need to be attached to the lens.

Q: 9. what size lens cap would i need for the 82mm filter ?

A: The Haida PROII CPL-VND 2-in-1 Filter (82mm, 3 to 7-Stop) has a front thread diameter of 86mm.

Q: 10. How thick is this filter? How much will it vignette on a Z 14-30mm lens?

A: Haida does not list the frame thickness on the Haida PROII CPL-VND 2-in-1 Filter (82mm). But most filters like this are thicker and at the 14mm side of the zoom, chances are you will get some vignette.
