The Tiffen 5x6" Blue Hard Edge Graduated Filteris a hard-edged graduated color filter providing a bluish color across the image, giving a cooling effect for your photographs. The 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. The 5 density provides less of a blue cast than the 4 density filter.

Tiffen filters are 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. This filter measures 5 x 6" / 127 x 152.4mm and features a horizontal orientation; meaning the filter's line of transition runs parallel to the long side of the filter.

A: No, they are not. The above filter, which is designed for the Cokin P-series filter holder, measures 3.3 x 3.9 (84.0 x 100.0 mm) in size. A filter measuring 100mm x 150mm in size would be too large to fit in a Cokin P-series filter holder.

Q: 3. What is a difference between rasin filters and hard edge filters?

A: I assume you meant resin filters. Resin is the material they are made from, either resin or glass. Both work great, although resin will scratch easier, I believe they are also cheaper, but good brands like Lee Filters are excellent. Both types of filters can come either with a hard edge or a graduated edge. This refers to how quickly the shading in the filter changes from dark to clear. Hard edges work best for something like a sunset where you can but the edge exactly on the horizon, if not careful there will be a prominent line thru the shot. Graduated filters have very gradual change from shaded to clear, and will leave not noticeable line, their effect is more gradual . I hope this helps.

Q: 4. Does this filter kit come with a protective pouch/wallet?

A: No. Despite the fact that each filter is protected, I'd get a pouch to accommodate all your filters and leave some space for filters that you may get in the future. Most utilized grad is .6....and if I were you, I'd have the soft edge and the hard edge versions....one never knows when these fit the landscape.

Q: 6. I noticed reviews on Nisi soft grad ND filters, that the transition is very long. the dark section dosn't start until very high up on the filter. The Nisi Hard edge has a smaller transition, it almost looks more comparable to a soft edge.their soft looks more comparable to a blender. dose anyone have any hands on experience with the soft edge ND vs the hard edge ND. If so is my observation true?Thanks

A: I have found the hard grad lies somewhere around the medium grads that some other companies have. Their soft has a much more gradual transition than most other companies though. I have found it to me much more forgiving than most other soft grads.
