The Tiffen 86mm Straw Solid Color Filteradds a warm, golden yellowish coloration across the entire image and helps to subdue overly bluish casts. 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 straw 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.

Straw-colored filter provides a warm, golden coloring to your images and reduces bluish casts.

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

Q: 1. why is there no mention of the polarizer in the item description?

A: Its doesnt work as a polarizing filter (even though it likely uses polarizers to achieve the ND effect as kyle said) ND only, you need to buy a polarizer seperately.Keep in mind the front filter thread on this filter is different then the back; you can put a 77mm polarizer on your lens and then the ND on the polarizer, but things get finnicky real quick with this setup.

Q: 2. Is this the MkII?

A: Yes should be

Q: 3. Is the 86mm (outer) side of this ND filter threaded? Has anyone screwed anything into it successfully? I'm considering an 86mm lens hood.

A: Yes, it is a threaded 86mm.

Q: 4. 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: 5. SLR Magic ND Filter ABOUT Mark II URGENT! Could you tell me why onten I read Mark II and often there is not Mark II? Is the filter with Mark II newer ot is it the same? Thanks

A: Yes

Q: 6. How is the glare? Should I buy a 86mm lens hood for this ND filter?

A: I haven't had any problem with glare. I didn't see any color shift. I wasted money buying a circular polarizer because the ND filter will do the same thing.

Q: 7. The back threads are 77mm and the front threads are 86mm. It's my understanding that this is to prevent vignetting. If I use a step down ring to get the front threads back to 77mm and add another filter, will that cause vignetting?

A: Not at all, I use the on my 12/60 Leica lens for GH5.
