This 86mm Tiffen 85B/ND 86mm Filter (1-Stop)blends both an amber color conversion 85B and a 0.3 neutral density filter. The ND filtration provides a 1-stop exposure reduction for darkening the entire image in order to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than normally required. The 85B filtration covers the entire filter plane and converts the color temperature to 3200K for use with type B (tungsten) film.

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.

0.3 Optical Density    ColorCore Technology    Amber 85B and Neutral Density    Warming Filter to Decrease Color Temp    ND Filter to Increase Exposure Length

Combination of both an amber color conversion 85B and a neutral density filter.

0.3 ND filter darkens the image, allowing you to photograph with a longer shutter speed or wider aperture than normally required.

85B filter converts the color temperature to 3200K, allowing you to use type B tungsten-balanced film in daylight situations.

Q: 1. I'd like to add this filter to the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens. Is the 58mm filter the right size? Also is there a way to use a lens hood with the filter in place and if so what type?

A: The filter is the right size. The lens hood for the 18-55 is called the ew-63c made by Canon. There is a possibility that they could work together but i wouldn't bet on it. The hood would have to be applied before attaching the filter, and even if the filter could fit on with the lens hood attached it would be near impossible to tighten it on the filter ring. But the good news is that isn't really a problem. With modern coating on lenses, lens hoods, which prevent lens flare is practically not an issue unless you are shooting right in to the sun or bright light source. A lens hood wouldn't be able to prevent lens flare anyways when shooting into a bright light source. Basically, a lens hood will not have a large practical purpose so there's no reason to shoot with one on while using the neutral density filter.

Q: 2. What is the material of the ring? Aluminum? Brass?

A: Aluminum

Q: 3. Is there a trick for screwing the filter onto the lens and getting the white dot on the top in the middle, so easy to see Min/Max?

Q: 5. Will it fit onto Tamron 28-75mm f 2.8 lens and sigma 85 mm f1.4 DgDn Art lens?

A: The Tamron lens takes a 67mm filter and the Sigma 85mm takes a 77mm filter. If you get a 67-77 step up ring, then you can use the filter on both lenses. Click the link below to view; https://bhpho.to/2Y9DzNO

Q: 6. Which filter best work in a canon 6D?

A: Filter sizing depends on the lens, not the camera. Check your lens to see what the filter thread diameter is. Regarding which filter works best ... it all depends upon what you want to do. Each filter is designed for something different, see the link below for more information:a href= http://www.tiffen.com/tiffen_edu_camera_filters.html target= _blank http://www.tiffen.com/tiffen_edu_camera_filters.html/a

Q: 7. What size lens cover works? Bought 85mm push cap but it was far too small.

A: The Kaiser 100mm Push-On Lens Cap, BH #KALC100, is large for the Tiffen 82mm Variable Neutral Density Filter. However, adding gaffer tape around the inside edge could make it fit.

Q: 8. Can I use this filter with step down rings for my other smaller 52mm, 58mm, 72mm lenses?

A: Tiffen's 77mm Variable ND filter can used on your smaller diameter lenses provided you have the appropriate stepping rings (ie - 52mm to 77mm, 58mm to 77mm, etc.)

Q: 9. What type of filter do you use to get knife photography twinkle lights

A: To get twinkle lights when photographing a knife, you need to do a double exposure with the Hoya Star 8X Filter (77mm), BH #HOS877Z, and a grain of wheat bulb attached to a battery. You could get the bulb at a hobby shop.

Q: 10. On a Tamron 18-300 for Fuji (crop), will this have vignetting at 18mm? If so, what thread should I move up to (stock is 67mm)?

A: The Tiffen 67mm Variable Neutral Density Filter will not vignette the image on the Tamron 18-300mm lens. I would recommend considering the 77mm version (and a 67 to 77mm step up ring) because that would allow use on more lenses.
