The Tiffen 95mm Warm Soft FX 2 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 2. Grades of 1/2, 1, 3, 4, and 5 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.

Q: 1. Does this fit Nikon Lens threads?

A: Peter, B&H lists the lens filter thread specifications at the web page below as having a 1.0 pitch, which is a coarse thread.a href= http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1175034-REG/nikon_af_s_nikkor_200_500mm_f_5_6e.html target= _blank http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1175034-REG/nikon_af_s_nikkor_200_500mm_f_5_6e.html/a

Q: 2. 1. The description doesn't tell if there is a filter thread. My question is, can I stack another 77mm ND filter on top of this filter to further increase perhaps 3 stops ND effect?2. I was wondering if I use a step up ring, will vignetting disappear? Say if my lens has filter size of 67mm, and I use a step up ring to put on this 77mm ND filter. Since the filter is larger, will be reduce or able to even avoid vignetting issue for wide angle lens such as 12mm etc.? Thank you!

A: There are no front filter threads on the Tiffen 77mm Variable Neutral Density filter. If you use a 77mm variable ND filter on a 67mm lens with a step up ring, this will help to decrease vignetting, yes. There is, however, no guarantee that vignetting can be eliminated in this way.

Q: 3. 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: 4. Hi,Will this ND filter fit on my Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 ATX lens? Thanks.

A: No it will not. The Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 ATX lenses have a 77mm sized filter thread. See the link below for the proper option in the 77mm size:http://bhpho.to/So8rpt

Q: 5. CAN I ADD ANOTHER FILTER OVER IT LIKE THE Tiffen 77mm Black Pro-Mist 1/8?

A: This Tiffen 77mm Variable Neutral Density Filter does not have front threads. If you were you stack it the filters, the Tiffen 77mm Black Pro-Mist 1/8 would have to go on the lens first followed by the Variable ND.

Q: 6. I just bought this filter, works great! But I am not able to use my 82mm Sensei lens cap for the ND. The ND it self seems to have a larger front diameter. What lens cap do you recommend?Thanks, -GG

Q: 7. I have a Nikkor 18-200 lens with a 72 mm thread. Can this 77mm VND Filter be used with a step-up ring (72-77) on my Nikkor and Nikon D7000 DSLR?

A: Yes, that will work well.

Q: 8. what size lens cap to buy for the 52mm?

A: I would recommend the Kaiser 57mm Push-On Lens Cap, B&H # KALC57, as a slip-on lens cap for use on the Tiffen 52mm Variable Neutral Density Filter, or the slightly smaller Kaiser 56mm Push-On Lens Cap. B&H # KALC56, for a more snug fit.

Q: 9. Hello, I have been doing simple photography for a while, but don't know much about my equipment... so I was wondering if this filter is compatible with a canon rebel T4i with a canon EF-S 55-250mm lens? Thanks for your time!

A: This filter is the incorrect size for the Canon EF-S 55-250 lens. Instead, you will need a filter with a thread size of 58mm. Take a look at the Hoya 58mm Variable Neutral Density filter: http://bhpho.to/1kcHnEZ

Q: 10. Can this fit any 72mm lens. I have a canon rebel T5 with 18-200 lens that is 72mm?
