This 4 x 5.65" Tiffen 4x5.65" ND Filter - 2.3 Stopis a solid neutral density filter providing a 2.3-stop exposure reduction. This 0.7 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than normally required. By increasing your aperture or slowing your exposure time, you are able to control depth of field and convey movement more easily. Neutral density filters do not affect the coloration of the image and are ideal for pairing with other filters.

This filter is made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass and grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. This filter measures 4 x 5.65" / 101.6 x 143.5mm.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Would this filter eliminate glaring while photographing waterfalls?

A: The Tiffen Variable Neutral Density filter controls how much light enters your camera lens. By controlling the light you have greater control over shutter speed to do long exposures. You can shoot waterfalls with the camera on a tripod and blur the water giving the water a look of movement while everything else stays still. You can also control aperture to shoot wide open for shallow depth of field in bright situations where your camera would normally overexpose when shooting wide open. This filter will not eliminate reflected light, for this you need a Circular Polarizing filter.

Q: 2. What size lens cap do I need for the 58 mm filter?

A: This is incorrect. The front threads of the 58VND are 67mm, however he Tiffen VND filter has very little front filter threads to avoid vignetting. As a result, a front lens cap cannot be attached. We recommend that you remove the filter and return it to its protective pouch instead of leaving it on the lens

Q: 3. If I have a sigma 18-35 f/1.8 will I still be able to attach a lens hood to the front with this ND filter on?

A: Noah... the Tiffen VND filter ring is larger than the diameter of your lens. This is done to prevent vignetting in images. Unfortunately, it will not allow a lens hood to attach.

Q: 4. will my camera's lens cap work with this filter? or do I need a different lens cap to cover it? (I have a sony rx10iii which has a fixed zeiss zoom lens, ie it's not a dslr/ interchangable lens)

A: There are no front filter threads on Tiffen's 72mm Variable ND filter and as a result cannot accept a snap -in or squeeze type of a lens cap. Since the OD of the filter is 85mm, I would suggest trying a push-on type of lens cap as shown on this link -https://a href= http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/125304-REG/Kaiser_206985_85mm_Push_On_Lens_Cap.html target= _blank www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/125304-REG/Kaiser_206985_85mm_Push_On_Lens_Cap.html/a

Q: 5. 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: 6. Does this filter work on a sony 70-200mm lens?

A: It depends which Sony 70-200 it is. If it is Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II Lens then Tiffen 77mm Variable Neutral Density Filter will work because that lens does accept 77mm filters.

Q: 7. What size do i need for the Sony - E 55-210mm f/4.5-6.3 OSS E-Mount Lens (Silver) ?

A: I believe 77mm, but I don't own that lens -

Q: 8. Would this fit the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art Lens for Canon EF?

A: It will work with a step up ring but you can get one that is 72mm to fit directly.

Q: 9. Can/Should this be used in conjunction with a UV filter?

A: We recommend always having a Tiffen UV filter on your lens. The Tiffen VND can attach to the outside filter threads on the UV filter, however when shooting at wide angle you may experience vignetting. If so, you will have to remove the UV filter and just shoot with the VND.

Q: 10. What's the pitch of the threads?

A: Not sure about "thread pitch" however, I can say that is threads on & off my Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM Lens just fine.
