The Tiffen 3 x 4" 2 Grape Soft-Edge Graduated Filter helps to specifically add a cool, purplish coloration 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 2 color density provides less grape coloration than the 3 density, but more than the 1 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 3 x 4" / 76.2 x 101.6mm.

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

Provides a cool purplish coloring to select areas of the image.

Graduated filter design keeps a portion of the image neutral, resulting in a more realistic look while allowing for the sky or other bright areas to take on the color of the density.

Q: 1. Can you tell me How fast is two battery charging?

A: The answer below that states you can charge both batteries in a couple of hours is inaccurate. The official Sony external charger (the fastest way to charge) takes 150 mins for ONE battery, and it supplies about double the amount of power to charge the battery as the camera does (13 watts vs 7.4 watts). If both of your batteries are completely dead, youre looking at overnight to charge both... in the range of 10 hours. Youre better off buying either the official sony charger (charges two in 5 hours) or one of the available third party dual chargers that can charge both simultaneously, as theyre just a bit slower than the official sony at about 6 hours. That said, if you dont drain your batteries all the way to zero, then it takes significantly less time to charge them.
