The Tiffen 62mm Warm Soft FX 5 Filtercan be applied to create a warm cast over an entire image while purposely reducing the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles in portraits, or to apply a general soft-focus effect while maintaining overall sharpness. An array of small lenses distributed within the surface of this filter smooths fine lines and textures, which can be useful for creating a more flattering result of a subject.

The warming effect of this filter can be obtained under daylight when this filter is used on a film camera system with daylight film installed, or on a digital camera system with its daylight white balance setting selected. This filter's overall coloration reflects a mired shift value of +45.

This filter has a grade of 5. Grades of 1/2, 1, 2, 3, and 4 are also available where this filter type's effect becomes approximately twice as strong with each grade number increase. When higher grade numbers are applied, a halation effect around highlights can be created to further enhance a subject's appearance or produce a desired effect.

This filter is constructed from optical glass for clarity as well as color fidelity. 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, and then mounting to precision metal rings.

A: The Canon 18-135mm lenses have a 67mm filter size. The Tiffen 67mm Circular Polarizing Filter is compatible with it.

Q: 2. Can i use this filter with a sony DSC-HX400V?

A: No, you cannot use any filters on the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX99 Digital Camera. So, the Tiffen 55mm Circular Polarizing Filter will not work with this camera.

Q: 3. Can this filter be used on a Tamron 18-270 lens?

A: It would depend on the model of the Tamron 18-270mm lens you own as to whether the above filter will work on your lens. Tamron has manufactured two (2) versions of the 18-270mm lens, the older, discontinued model using 72mm filters, and the current model using the smaller 62mm filters. The best I can recommend is if you have your lens cap, look on the inside of the lens cap to see if the lens cap/filter thread size is listed inside the lens cap. Otherwise, if you can give us the full name or B&H number of the lens you own (or write all information on the lens itself), we would then be able to identify which filter thread size your lens needs.

Q: 4. Why isn't it available in 46mm filter size? That's the size most of my Micro Four Thirds lenses are.

A: Charles... this filter is available, but B&H does not list it on their website as it is considered Special Order . Please call B&H directly and tell them you would like to request they special order item # 46WPOL from Tiffen. I currently show a few of these in stock and they can be dropped shipped directly from Tiffen to you when ordered through B&H.

Q: 5. Will the threads on this fit Tamron Auto Focus 200-500mm f/5.0-6.3 Di LD SP?

Q: 6. Will the Canon lens hood EW-73C fit on this?

Q: 7. Will this fit a Nikon 30-110 mm Lens for a j1?

A: According to the NikonUSA site, yes. It says it is a 40.5mm screw on, which is what this is. As someone else said, it is just a matter of looking at the specs. A 40.5 screw on is a standard when it comes to cameras.

Q: 8. Can I use this filter on a Canon 60mm macro lens with an MR-14EX ring flash? If so, what size do I need. Thanks!

Q: 10. do these polarizing filters cut down on the amount of light coming in the lens?
