This 10-stop, 72mm 72mm Ice Slim IRND 10-Stop Filter for Photographyis an ND filter with a 1000x filter factor that provides a 10-stop exposure reduction. Its 3.0 optical density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed without overexposing your image. By slowing your exposure time, you can create motion blur for special effects or to convey a sense of movement. Opening your iris allows you to create shallow depth of field, which can help isolate your subject. Neutral density filters do not affect the coloration of the image and are ideal for pairing with other filters.

The design of this filter has been optimized for use with digital sensors and to promote nearly flat attenuation of visible light and infrared light. Due to imaging sensors' greater susceptibility to infrared light, compared to traditional film, color casts can occur when photographing darker subjects that require increased exposure times.

Mounted within a slim, aluminum alloy filter ring that helps prevent vignetting while remaining durable and lightweight, this filter is constructed from optical glass for clarity and color fidelity. Each glass surface includes six layers of anti-reflection coatings to prevent internal ghosting and reflections.

Q: 3. Will this hood fit on my Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4 DC Macro HSM Lens f/Sony?

A: I have a 18-200 mm Nikkor zoom lens (72 mm diameter) on which this hood fits fine (as far as attaching to the lens). It should also fit your lens. The hood folds in for the wider angle zoom. However, there is definite corner shadowing at the widest angles. So depending on how often you shoot wide, it may become a hindrance. My wide angle extends to 76 degrees while your Sigma extends to 79 degrees. Therefore, it is likely to have even more corner shadowing. Beyond the wide angle, however, the hood works fine. In my case, I only need to zoom in a bit to remove the corner shadows. However, there have been times when I took off the hood when the corner shadows were annoying (and I didn't have any sun reflection issues).

Q: 4. If I have multiple drives connected to this unit and want to eject just one drive, does it eject the entire hub or just the selected drive?

A: It should eject just the selected Drive but if you are using this on a Mac you might want to reconsider. I had to quit using mine because it would randomly loose connections with various connected discs I sent it back for repair they sent me another same issue I kept getting disk ejected improperly messages on my Mac very frustrating
