The Tiffen 95mm Low Contrast 1/8 Filtercan be applied to purposely reduce contrast while photographing an image or while recording video. By redistributing illumination from brighter to darker areas within a scene, this filter is useful in helping to balance the tonal range among highlights and shadows. Detail is increased within shadow regions while a halation effect around highlights is created which can further enhance a scene's appearance or produce a desired effect.

This filter has a grade of 1/8. Grades of 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are also available where this filter type's effect becomes approximately twice as strong with each grade number increase.

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.

Q: 1. Will this VND filter fit over a B&W 67mm UV filter already on my travel (zoom) lens or do I need to remove the UV filter before I can attach this Tiffen 67VND?

A: Yes, the Tiffen 67mm Variable Neutral Density Filter can fit directly on the front of a B+W 67mm UV Filter. There is a possibility that you will have vignetting, as stacking filters on a wide angle lens can sometimes cause vignetting. If this is the case, you may need to remove the UV filter before mounting the Variable ND Filter.

Q: 3. Anyone has issue with out of focus when zoom lens is zoom all the way in while using a variable ND filter?

A: In a DSLR, since autofocus primarily works better in better lighting conditions and because some zoom lenses with variable apertures have smaller apertures at the long end of the zoom, your camera might not have enough light to autofocus well. However, without knowing all the specifics, this is an issue that might be hard to troubleshoot. The Tiffen VND by itself would usually not greatly contribute to autofocusing issues.
