The Tiffen 86mm Chocolate Solid Color Filteradds a mellow, neutral brown coloration across the entire image and adds some warmth to balance overly cool 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 chocolate 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.

Chocolate-colored filter provides a neutral brown coloring and gives additional warmth to images.

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

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. 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: 2. Is this the Mark II version ??

A: I'm quite sure you can find the answer to this question by just a casual reading of the product information of this item. If it's missing, then I suppose B&H or the manufacturer are not doing its job of informing the consumer about this product. In any case, please refrain from spending your hard-earned money on the SLR Magic Variable ND as the rotating lever on my filter came off after the 4th use. There isn't much built-quality and durability for something without electronic parts. Plain shocking. Please get the B+W VND instead, I swear by that one.

A: Mk II
