This 3-stop, 62mm Heliopan 62mm ND Filter - 3 Stopprovides a 3-stop exposure reduction. Its 0.9 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.

To prevent internal ghosting and reflections, each glass surface includes four layers of anti-reflection coating. Together, these eight coatings offer greater protection to the filter substrate and help it to stay clean for longer than with uncoated filters.

This Heliopan neutral density filter is constructed from Schott glass for increased optical clarity as well as color fidelity and features a brass filter ring for enhanced durability and jamming prevention.

Q: 1. Will this Tiffen ND filter provide true color images? i.e., convey the same color compared to without the ND filter?

A: No, the Tiffen 77mm Variable Neutral Density Filter, will function like a polarizer to achieve the variable effect, which will change the hue of the image, similar to a polarizer.

Q: 2. Dear All,I'm about to purchase a ND filter for Zeiss 15 f2.8Before purchase I wanna be sure 95mm filters do not produce any vignetting. Are Heliopan good for these purpose? Slim enough?I would by different ND and leverage on only one shipping cost! But for this purpose I have to be sure in advance that a single filter (multiple filters of course will produce vignetting) is okThx a lotM

A: The Heliopan 95mm Neutral Density 3.0 filter will be a great choice for the Zeiss 15mm f/2.8 lens. You should not experience vignette using this ND filter on that lens.

Q: 3. What type of filter do you use to get knife photography twinkle lights

Q: 4. Will this fit my 3.5F Rolleiflex ?

A: Yes, the Heliopan Bay 2 ND 1.5 Filter (5-Stop) is compatible with the Rolleiflex 3.5 F camera.

Q: 5. For the 77mm version, is the reported green cast, X uneven fading AND/OR image degradation (softness, etc) starting to appear more easily in 24mm focal length or wider (on Full Frame cameras)?And are those issues appearing WITHIN the Start and End marks? At what point aprox.?Thank you!!

A: What green cast are you referring to? There are no known issues with green cast with the Tiffen VND filter, perhaps you are referring to the IRVND?The X Bar effect is a function of optical physics when combining two circular polarizing filters to make a VND. This effect happens with all manufacturers VND filters and does not indicate a problem with the filter. The X Bar effect typically appears when shooting at wide angle and at higher density settings on the VND filter, you will see this effect appear sooner with a full frame camera than with a cropped sensor camera. To correct this look through your viewfinder and reduce the density on the VND filter, change your focal length by zooming in or a combination of both until the effect goes away. The X Bar effect can happen within the Min and Max settings, especially at darker densities on full frame cameras. You should never adjust the VND outside the Min and Max settings.

Q: 6. Will this fit on a Rokinon 35mm F1.4 AF Series II Full Frame Wide Angle (Sony E) Lens?

A: No, the Heliopan 35.5mm ND 1.8 Filter (6-Stop) is not compatible with the 67mm filter thread of the Rokinon 35mm f/1.4 AF II Lens for Sony E-Mount Cameras.

Q: 7. What is the weight of this filter?

Q: 8. Will heliopan 77mm ND 3.0 filter cause vignette with canon 16-35mm f4 on full frame?

A: There is a chance you may experience vignette with this filter on the Canon 16-35mm f/4 on a full frame sensor at the widest focal length and highest aperture, but otherwise, you shouldn't experience any vignette.

Q: 9. 72mm is my biggest lense thread so Ill buy 72mm , but I also have a 55mm lense and 67mm lense which i would use step up rings. How will this variable ND filter fare with the smaller lenses? Will i get bad vigneting or anything else?

A: I've used it on smaller lenses, it works great for me.

Q: 10. I was hoping to use this for solar photography but I want to be safe. Is it safe to look at the sun through a Nikon d750's viewfinder with this filter? If it's not safe for me is it safe for the camera? - (eg could I use live view instead of looking through the viewfinder)

A: You can look at the sun with this filter, but taking precautions is always good. Start out by using sunglasses at first, look through as see, then without and compare, if it is comfortable you know its ok.Ive shot images of the sun looking directly though the viewfinder without issues using this filter
