The Tiffen 86mm Grape Solid Color Filteradds a vivid, purple coloration across the entire image and helps to cool overly warm tones. The solid color design makes this filter well-suited to pairing with other filters for further control over the appearance of imagery. The 1 color density provides less grape coloration than the 2 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.

1 Density Solid Color Filter    Cool Grape Coloration    ColorCore Technology

Grape-colored filter provides a cool purplish hue to images.

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

Q: 1. Is this the first or second version of the variable ND filter?

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

Q: 2. is the side lever/handle removable ( screw on) ?

A: The lever is non-removable.

Q: 3. Is this the MkII?

A: Yes should be

Q: 4. What is the size of the diameter?

A: SLR Magic 52mm Self-Locking Variable Neutral Density 0.4 to 1.8 Filter (1.3 to 6 Stops) has a diameter of 86 mm.

Q: 5. Does this filter have hard stops on min & max setting?

A: Yes. There are hard stops on min and max.

Q: 6. 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: 7. 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: 8. 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: 9. Can I use this filter with a canon 24-105mm lens and sign 18-25mm lens?

A: Hi, I am not familier with both canon mount lenses, but there are two issues to verify:1. That there is no vigniting because of the filter at wide angle.2. To verify that the filter is a circular polarizer based and no problems with light reading and focusing.

Q: 10. 2 questions. 1: lter also be used as a CPL as you can adjust the angle of the filtration. 2: Does this filter have threads on the front of the filter? Answers appreciated.

A: While both neutral density and circular polarizer filters use polarizing foils, the main purpose of this variable ND filter is to reduce the exposure overall, rather than reducing reflections, reducing glare and saturating colors as a circular polarizer would. As for the threads in front, those would measure 86mm.
