The Tiffen 5x5" Chocolate Soft-Edge Graduated Filterhelps to specifically add a neutral, mellow brown coloration to skies and other bright areas of an image while allowing a portion of the image to remain neutrally colored. The filter's coloring is densest at the edge and tapers to clear by the middle, with a soft-edged transition between the density and clear areas. The 3 color density provides more chocolate coloration than the 2 density filter.

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. It measures 5 x 5" / 127 x 127mm.

3 Density Color Graduated Filter    Chocolate Coloring in Select Areas    Soft-Step Graduation    ColorCore Technology

Provides a mellow brownish coloring to select areas of the image.

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.

Q: 2. ND filter holders

A: I hand hold the filter in front of the lens, that allows me to move it up or down, depending on the affect I want. Be sure to hold the filter against the lens or you will get some reflection in the picture.

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.

Q: 4. These are meant for using your camera verically?

A: The NiSi 100x150mm Nano Soft-Edge Graduated IRND 0.9 Filter (3-Stop) is not for vertical shooting only. The filter is used in a filter holder and is long so that you can move the graduated part of the filter off-center.

Q: 6. I am interested in this product but don't exactly know what all is needed. I have the Canon 5D III. please advise. I am using different lenses but ultimately want to purchase the Canon 24-70 for landscapes. Thank you

A: The kit comes with three filters, the holder and a lens cap that fits in the holder. You will also need the correct diameter adapter ring for whatever lens you mount the holder on. I bought two rings, a 72mm and a 50mm to fit my two Sony lenses. Hope this is helpful. The filters work great in landscape photos to balance bright skies.

Q: 7. Can we use this filter along big 10 stopper?

A: I only have this filter so I have not experience using big 10 stopper or any other filter.

Q: 8. Hi , do I need to purchase a 77mm adapter ring for using this filter?

Q: 9. I have heard many good things about 100mm formatt filters. Does the quality of those 85mm resin filters is the same of other Formatt filters?I plan to use them in top of my 77mm B+W circular ND filters, by using a cheap Cokin P holder. To be used on Fuji X-T1.Thanks

A: I think it's a good filter and a good buy. It is quite a bit cheaper than many other brands, but it is much more scratch resistant than the very inexpensive ones.

Q: 10. will this work on my A7II lens?

A: While it should be compatible, the answer will depend on the lens you own, not which camera you own. As the Sony Alpha a7II Mirrorless Digital Camera uses interchangeable lenses, we would first need to know which lens you own (or the filter thread size for your lens) to see if there is an adapter ring compatible for your lens' filter thread size. As this was not listed in your inquiry, I would have to recommend to e-mail us the brand/model name of your lens, the B&H number, or the filter thread size of your lens to prophoto@bhphotovideo.com and we could then inform you if the system would work with your equipment, and which lens adapter ring would be required for purchase to use the filter holder system with your equipment.
