The 5 x 6" Tiffen 85B/ND Filter 5x6" 1-Stopblends 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) films.

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 5 x 6" / 127 x 152.4mm.

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: 2. Pls confirm that the 46mm filter will fit in the rear drop-in slot of a Nikon Z 800mm? i.e. it's not too thick

A: The Tiffen Solar ND Filter (46mm, 18-Stop, Special 50th Anniversary Edition) is incompatible with the Nikon NIKKOR Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S Lens. Solar filters must be on the front of the lens to be safe. Get the MrStarGuy Adjustable Objective White Light Solar Filter (145-175mm OD), BH #STSGFT043B.

A: No, the Tiffen 62mm Variable Neutral Density Filter is not the correct size for the Moment M-Series Lens 67mm Filter Mount. One would need to get the Tiffen 67mm Variable Neutral Density Filter, BH #TIVND67 (https://bhpho.to/3FUZ4GR).

Q: 7. Is this compatible with the Moment Cinebloom filter? Can I use both at the same time?

A: While this could be screwed into the front of a Moment 72mm CineBloom filter, there is a chance of vignetting on wide angle lenses.

Q: 8. Im looking to add this to my 17-40 mm lens for a canon 60D. While the 60D isn't a crop camera, and the lens is full frame, it still works well for me. What MM will I need and will it work?

A: This particular filter fits camera lenses with a 58mm filter thread. Please check the filter thread size on your lens to determine the correct size filter to order.

Q: 9. will this fit on a Canon XA25 & does it eliminate the subject washout I get from bright/white stage lights?

A: This filter will fit any lens which has a 58mm filter thread. The Tiffen Variable Neutral Density Filter provides two to 8 stops of light control. This means that it limits the amount of light entering your lens. By limiting the amount of light entering your lens you achieve greater control over your camera. You can do long exposures with the VND (blur moving water, clouds, etc) or use it to control your depth of field in bright sun.

Q: 10. Is this an IR cut ND filter as well?
