The Tiffen 86M Low Light Dispersion Filteris popular with cinematographer's.

The Low Light Dispersion filter (LLD) is the same shade as a traditional yellow #85 filter (The #85 series will produce natural colors when shooting with tungsten film outdoors).  However, it is used instead of the #85 in low light scenarios since it does not require the 2/3 stop light loss of the #85.

You'll find this filter opens up shadows while adding a noticeable warmth to the image.

Q: 7. I'm new to lens filters, how does this attach to the lens?

A: Welcome to the world of filters! :) It's simple, really! The front of your lens has female receiving threads and this filter has male threads; you simply screw the filter into the front of the lens till you feel some slight resistance (for tightness) and you're good to go! You want to make sure you're buying the right size filter for the right lens diameter. That's the only consideration you'll need to make for the most part.

Q: 8. You list possible vertical spread angles, but not the horizontal dispersion angle. I am trying to cover a space without the use of a center array. I should be able to do it if the horizontal spread is about 75 or 80 degrees. Will I make it?

A: The Toa Electronics HX-5W Variable Dispersion Array Speaker have a specified horizontal dispersion angle of 100 degrees.

Q: 9. I can only hear the hi and. Not the mid im probably connecting them wrong anyone can help me?

A: The HX-5W is a full range speaker array that features 5 woofers. It is best to use this array with a subwoofer for a fuller sound and to minimize the impact low end frequencies can have on the relatively small 5 woofers. Another possibility is that the woofers are blown out, causing you to hear only mid and high frequencies. It would be advisable to contact TOA Product support at 800-733-4748 (option 2) for warranty claims.
