The Tiffen 86mm Plum Solid Color Filteradds a warm, pale purple coloration across the entire image and helps to subdue overly yellowish casts. The solid color design makes this filter well-suited to pairing with other filters for further control over the appearance of imagery. The 2 color density provides less plum coloration than the 3 density, but more than the 1 density filter.

This filter is made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and then mounting to precision metal rings.

Plum-colored filter provides a warm, pale purple coloring to your images and reduces yellowish casts.

Solid color filters apply the amount of density evenly across the image plane in order to achieve a fluid and creative effect.

Q: 1. Does this Mk II version allow for a lens cap on the filter? Does it have standard front threads?

A: I just used this for the first time yesterday on waterfalls. I love it!! It comes with its own lens cap included.

Q: 2. Will this variable ND filter allow mounting of a clamp-on matte box?

A: It may not as the mechanism to change the ND filter's strength would be interfered with if a clamp-on matte box was attached. It would not be recommended with this filter.

Q: 3. Hello. On every review on YouTube, people say that you can also adjust the polarisation effect. Why are people saying here you cant ? Thanks.

A: There is a very slight, almost imperceptible, polarizing effect at the minimum density setting. At the maximum density setting there is no discernible polarizing effect.

Q: 4. why is there no mention of the polarizer in the item description?

A: Its doesnt work as a polarizing filter (even though it likely uses polarizers to achieve the ND effect as kyle said) ND only, you need to buy a polarizer seperately.Keep in mind the front filter thread on this filter is different then the back; you can put a 77mm polarizer on your lens and then the ND on the polarizer, but things get finnicky real quick with this setup.

Q: 5. Is this the Mark II version ??

A: I'm quite sure you can find the answer to this question by just a casual reading of the product information of this item. If it's missing, then I suppose B&H or the manufacturer are not doing its job of informing the consumer about this product. In any case, please refrain from spending your hard-earned money on the SLR Magic Variable ND as the rotating lever on my filter came off after the 4th use. There isn't much built-quality and durability for something without electronic parts. Plain shocking. Please get the B+W VND instead, I swear by that one.

Q: 6. Is this the first or second version of the variable ND filter?

A: This is the second version of the variable ND filter.

Q: 8. Can I use this filter on a Canon EF 24-70 F/2.8L II USM lens with the lens hood attached? I mean will the lens hood still fit on to the lens with this filter attached?

Q: 10. The back threads are 77mm and the front threads are 86mm. It's my understanding that this is to prevent vignetting. If I use a step down ring to get the front threads back to 77mm and add another filter, will that cause vignetting?

A: Not at all, I use the on my 12/60 Leica lens for GH5.
