The Tiffen 5x5" Blue Soft Edge Graduated Filteris a soft-edged graduated color filter providing a bluish color across the image, giving a cooling effect for your photographs. The 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. The 3 density provides less of a blue cast than the 4 density filter, but more than the 2 density.

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 1/10,000th of an inch. This filter measures 5 x 5" / 127 x 127mm.

Q: 3. is this filter a good size for a 77mm lens or I would be better off with a 100mm size filter ?

A: It depends if youre shooting wide or not. Im thinking you probably are so I wouldnt recommend it. Anything roughly under about 25mm brings the holder into the frame. So basically it was a waste of money for my 17-35 nikkor lens with 77mm thread. Id go for a bigger filter kit if shooting anything wide, 24mm or wider. Hope that helps.
