The Tiffen 86mm Fog Filter for Photographysimulates the effects of natural fog or mist by creating a soft glow around highlights and lowering the overall contrast of the scene. There can also be a softening effect due to how the light interacts with the subject matter. The 1 density provides a subtle amount of fog effect and requires no exposure compensation.

Tiffen filters are 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.

Q: 1. Would a 25-30 second exposure of a waterfall be possible on a partly sunny day at f/22?

A: The best I could tell you is to try it and see. It all depends on what partly sunny is. I have used the 1.2 with a 15 second exposure at F16 and got a great result. But that was a cloudy day. Remember that you can always adjust your ISO to 100 to help some.

Q: 2. Is the filter metal or plastic?

A: Tiffen filter rings are made of anodized aluminum and all of our filters without an IR element come with a 10 year warranty.

Q: 3. Is it a front and back combo in the package?

A: Yes, the Urth 86mm Lens Filter Cap is a front and back cap.

Q: 4. Does this fit in the Nisi 100 filter holder?

A: The Nisi 100 filter holder is designed for 2mm thick filters. Tiffen MPTV filters are 4mm thick which allows the filter "effect" to be laminated in between two pieces of glass. This prevents the "effect" from being scratched and also makes the filter more durable. To hold our 4x4 or 4x5.65 MPTV filters you can use the Tiffen Pro100 filter holder.

Q: 5. I just purchased the Nikon 10-24. Any vignetting issues with wide angle lenses? Is ring thin enough?

A: For a super wide-angle lens like your Nikon 10-24, you'd be better off with the more expensive B+W XS-PRO UV Haze because it's slimmer. Mary B's response is utterly irrelevant because she's referring to a telephoto lens.

Q: 6. Is a pouch included with this filter?

A: All Tiffen square/rectangle filters include a pouch

Q: 7. Does this filter produce a color cast?

A: This is a 2 stop ND filter. The lighter densities typically do not result in any Infra Red (IR) pollution (color shift). This is typically found when using darker density ND filters without any IR protection. These filters are used for long exposures during which both visible and IR light hit your cameras sensor. The IR light causes the color shift (not the filter). If you plan on shooting any ND filters with darker densities we recommend the Tiffen IRND or NATural ND filters, both have IR protection built in.

Q: 8. Can i screw another filter over this one for more light stoppage?

A: Yes you can put another one over this one and increasethe effect.

Q: 9. What material is this made of?

A: Urth filter caps are made of magnalium, an aluminum-magnesium alloy.

Q: 10. Can you stack more than one of this same filter on a lens to get more stops down (for example .6 stacked on .6 = 1.2) ?

A: i use sometime 0.9 with 0.3 or 0.6 for = 1.2 or 1.5, but i use becouse i need to use (for example black magic camera) , but i dont prefer.i hope i help you :)
