Combining three distinct effects within a single filter, the Tiffen 4x5.65" IRND 1.2 Digital Diffusion FX 2 Filterfrom Tiffen 4x5.65" IRND 1.2 Digital Diffusion FX 2 Filteroffers a 4 stop exposure reduction, attenuates infrared wavelengths, and slightly softens skin details and textured backgrounds. Intended for use with high definition video capture with CMOS and CCD sensors, this filter compensates for the extended red sensitivity of these sensor designs in order to produce cleaner, more accurate colors and also takes the over-sharpened "digital edge" off for a smoother image quality. The filter is constructed from water white optical glass for maintained clarity and measures 4 x 5.65" / 101.6 x 143.5mm to pair well with lightweight or clip-on matte boxes.

Parameters
Size	4 x 5.65" / 101.6 x 143.5 mm
Front Accessory Thread / Bayonet	No
Filter Material	Glass

Alleviating the need to use multiple filters at once, this filter combines three distinct effects to reduce the number of filter surfaces in use.

IRND 1.2 filter offers a 4 stop exposure reduction to permit working with longer shutter speeds or wider aperture settings than normally required.

Infrared attenuating design is proportionate to the neutral density value, and helps to ensure clean, accurate colors and true blacks.

Digital Diffusion/FX effect softens skin details and textured backgrounds for a smoother image quality.

No. 2 diffusion strength provides a noticeable amount of softening that is more than the 1 strength, but less than the 3 strength.

Well-suited to high definition video applications where an over-sharpened "digital look" is undesirable.

Diffusion design remains invisible when lens is stopped down for greater versatility in exposure control.

Constructed from water white optical glass for maintained image quality.

Measures 4 x 5.65" / 101.6 x 143.5mm and is ideally suited for use with lightweight clip-on matte boxes.

Q: 4. Is the Viltrox 27mm F/1.2 suitable for video capture?How well is the autofocus in video mode?

A: The Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 Lens (FUJIFILM X) has fast and accurate autofocus in video mode. It works very well for video recording.

Q: 5. Is it noisy during with C-AF when recording videos on Panasonic bodies? How well does it perform?

A: You will definitely be able to hear the focusing system. We recommend that you record audio separately.

Q: 6. The Olympus digital 1.4 teleconverter is listed as recommended accessory. Are they compatible to use together?

A: No, the Olympus MC-14 M.Zuiko Digital 1.4x Teleconverter will not work with the OM SYSTEM M.Zuiko Digital ED 45mm f/1.2 PRO Lens.

Q: 7. Would this lens as well as the other Pro prime lenses be too heavy for the PEN bodies?

A: I don't find this lens or the Oly 25mm f/1.2 PRO lens to be too large or too heavy for my Pen-F. I also use the 12-100MM f/4 PRO on the Pen-F and think that maybe this lens is about at the limit of size and weight for this body. I do prefer to use the Olympus ECG-4 Grip for the Pen-F, which I do not believe detracts from the compact size or appearance of the camera, but markedly improves handling with these larger PRO lenses.

Q: 8. Why is it taking so long for this lens to become available? Are there production issues?

A: Olympus has not stated if there were any issues in particular. In any event, the lens is in stock and ready for you to order one.

Q: 9. Will the 17mm f/1.2 Pro work in ProCapture Low mode?

A: Yes this lens can work in Pro Capture Low Mode when shooting with the OM-D E-M1 Mark II.

Q: 10. What are the best uses for this lens?

A: A 50mm is perfect for some people while others prefer the 35mm for general all around photography. A 50mm is great for portraits, closeup as well as environmental. The f1.2 isolates the subject incredibly well and this lens really has a 3-dimensional pop. Its the lens Id be buried with probably. You cant go wrong with it and every photographer needs a fast 50mm.

[Glass] The golden glow this filter adds is beautiful! Magnificent on sunny days and blonde or fair skinned subjects! 5

[Glass] I love these filters, and I have the FX2 on all of my lenses for wedding videography. I like how it softens faces and reduces fine textures without adding any halation or losing contrast. My only gripe would be the artifacts in the filter are pretty noticeable in the bokeh or when the lens flares, but that's easy enough to work around. 5

[Glass] I got this to reduce the jaggies in video on my 6d. It does not totally eliminate them, but it definitely improves them. I haven't yet used this for portraits, but that's in the cards. when I started using this, I got the general veiling that you expect from one of the mist filters. I was disappointed. However, then I cleaned the filter thoroughly. Much much better. I think this is going to work out nicely. I bought another one for a different lens. When I pulled it from the package, it was pretty dirty, too. So my advice is to thoroughly clean your filters. You'll be amazed. 5

[Glass] Probably my favorite of this series - I have the series in 72mm. Nice to use on any blonde/fair skinned person. Afternoon shots in overcast days in the #1 is good as well! 5

[Glass] I own two of these for two camera shoots. They produce a nice subtle softening for skin and reduction in overall contrast. Not too much, just enough to take the edge of digital cinema cameras. 5

[Glass] Totally awesome! Pretty much the closest filter to the Alexa look! Very subtle, doesn't affect colors, and attenuate skin blemishes while retaining overall sharpness. Perfect to refining the cinematic look of your digital camera! This filter is always on my lenses as my default look. 5

[Glass] I bought it for video to have smoother images but I discovered that I also like it very much for portrait photography to smooth skin without having the dreamy halo effect. To my taste, the effect is very subttle, though... 5

[Glass] Most photographers use at least one diffusion filter for portraits, whether a professional whose clients need to look great, or the rest of us who want to flatter Granny at her 90th birthday celebration party. I have kids with iffy complexions in their adolescence and didn’t want to rely too heavily on Photoshop for the fix. For use on my Quattro DP2, this filter does a fine job of holding small details like eyelashes, yet blends blemishes well. (One caveat: a large blackhead or dark pimple may be accentuated, depending on circumstances, so a white diffusion filter or dab of concealer could be needed.) Since the eyes and lashes/eyebrows hold their detail portraits can be very flattering with this Tiffen product. It looks odd by itself as it appears to be glass with a pattern of little black marks all over it, where I more or less expected some type of black screen or grid. Not being an optical engineer and as well as the filter works, I chalk it up to FM. Also, I prefer to use Tiffen products in general as they have always be good quality, competitively priced, and made in the good ol’ U. S. of A.; what’s not to like? 5

[Glass] The Tiffen Black Diffusion/FX 3 filter produces the effect I was looking for. It's well made with a nice finish and threads easily on my Nikon glass. 5

[Glass] I have mainly been using the filter to soften the portraits I take because I print straight from the memory card without using computer touch-up. I'm extremely pleased with the softening filter effects. I do make adjustments in my camera to work with the filter as in the sharpness and the coloring to suit my taste for the end results that I'm looking for in the particular portrait that I'm shooting. The results of the filter are very minor but to me that is the way it should be - just enough to take a second look at the photo without realizing why you took a second look.... The camera lens had problems AFing, the photos looked blurry more than not. I tried hard to make it work for me but NO GO.Also it is hard to find much info and samples of the filter's performance on the internet.I still plan to experiment further with the filter on other photo ops besides portraits. But I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys the challenge of producing their end results from the camera and not the computer.Thanks for reading this; I hope it is helpful.Mary Grace@ 5
