The Tiffen 4x5.65" Low Contrast Filterworks to lessen contrast across the image by creating a small amount of controlled flare near highlight areas. This enables greater detail to be attained in shadow regions, while unaffecting the values of highlights, in order to produce lower apparent contrast. This filter is ideal for use during midday and other high contrast lighting situations when it is difficult to control both overexposed highlights and underexposed shadows. The 3 density provides less contrast adjustment than the 4 density, but more than the 2 density filter.

Tiffen filters are 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 10,000th of an inch. This filter measures 4 x 5.65" / 101.6 x 143.5mm.

Low Contrast for Greater Shadow Detail    Does Not Affect Highlight Values    Ideal for Midday and Bright Conditions    ColorCore Technology

Ideal for use during midday and other high contrast lighting situations when it is difficult to control both overexposed highlights and underexposed shadows.

Lower contrast results in greater shadow detail when properly exposed.

Q: 1. Does it include a front cap?

A: No. The following unit does not come with a cap. We suggest the following item Sensei 77mm Filter Stack Caps BH #SESC77 • MFR #SC-77 https://bhpho.to/3s3LACT

Q: 2. will this work with a canon 18-135mm lens?

A: It is the right size for your lens but if you use it at the widest angle you'll get some vignetting where the edge of the filter will appear as a dark shadow in the outer corners of the image. It won't be a problem at longer focal lengths. This is tolerable if you can crop these corners in post production. This filter will really raise the quality of light and colour in your landscapes.

Q: 3. Does this work well on the Milky Way?

A: It helps to remove some light pollutions from the sky

Q: 4. Will this 77mm filter fit onto the Canon RF 70-200mm f2.8 lens with the supplied Canon lens hood attached?

Q: 6. what wider focal length The Tiffen Digital HT CP is compatible?. It seems TIFFEN have a CP Wide angle but with inferior quality (no coating) than the HT CP. so is the HT CP compatible with 17-28mm focal length?

Q: 7. What's the widest focal length lens I can use with this matte box (on both FF and S35 sensor, using both stages of filters)? Will it work with a 10mm lens on S35 and/or a 14mm on FF?

A: The answer is...it depends. You notice focal lengths are not listed for matte boxes like this. That is because it depends on the sensor, the camera, the lens and the matte box what will precisely work. That being said, we would say that this matte box should have no problem with an 18mm on Super35 and 24mm on full frame. Depending on all above conditions, wider than those lengths may be possible. However, we would tend to think that the real answer for 10mm on Super35 and/or 14mm on full frame would either be a single filter clip-on matte box or a two filter 6.6 x 6.6 matte box.

Q: 8. Will this work with the sony 10-18mm lens?

A: The totally correct answer is I don't really know. On the other hand I see no reason why it should not work. I bought this filter in the 67mm size for my Canon EF-s 10-18mm lens for a camera with an APC size sensor. The Canon lens is equivalent to a16-28.8mm full frame lens while your Sony lens works out like a 15-27mm equivalent. I bought the low profile filter when I realized that my regular polarizer vignetted at 10mm. The new filter solved this problem. Even though your lens is a scant millimeter (equivalent) wider and the size is 5mm smaller I still believe that the filter will work for you without vignetting, which I assume is your concern. Looking at the geometry of the two lenses I think you will be safe.
