  • 0.6 Solid Neutral Density Filter
  • 4x Filter Factor, +2 Stop
  • Darkens Entire Image
  • Allows Reduced Shutter Speed
  • Allows Wider Aperture
  • ColorCore Technology
  • 82mm Front Threads
  • Water White Glass
  • Plastic Case

The Tiffen 82mm Water White Glass ND 0.6 Filter (2-Stop) uniformly darkens the entire frame, giving you the freedom to shoot with a wider aperture or a slower shutter speed than typically needed. This adjustment in exposure time or aperture enables you to have greater control over your depth of field and enhances your ability to capture motion with ease. Notably, neutral density filters like this one preserve the image's natural coloration, making them a perfect complement to other filters in your photography toolkit.

This filter is constructed from Water White glass and 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.

  • The 0.6 neutral density filter darkens the image, allowing you to photograph with a longer shutter speed or wider aperture than normally required.
  • Providing a 2-stop exposure reduction, this filter allows you to control depth of field and convey movement more easily.
  • Filter does not affect coloration of the image and is ideal for use with other filters.
  • Front filter threads allow for use with other filters.
  • Plastic filter case for storage and transport.

Specifications

The Tiffen 82mm Variable Neutral Density Filter incorporates a built-in rotating ring that enables adjustment of the neutral density, spanning from 2 to 8 stops (0.6-2.4). As the density increases, your shutter speed slows down, which, in turn, allows for longer exposures, capturing more light and introducing captivating motion effects into your shots. One of the standout advantages of this filter is its versatility and convenience. Instead of lugging around multiple individual neutral density filters, this Tiffen 82mm Variable Neutral Density Filter filter empowers you to dial in the exact degree of ND you desire, making it a valuable time and money-saving tool for any photographer or filmmaker.

Simply mount the filter on your lens, set it to "Min" density then frame and focus. Care must be taken with focusing at heavier densities to make sure focus is accurate. However, if it isn't, switch to manual focus and rotate to the desired degree of filtration.

For example, if your standard exposure without the filter is 1/500 @ f/8 and you then set the filter to "Min", you change the shutter speed to 1/125 at the same aperture - thereby losing 2 stops of speed while gaining a hint of "blur" in the image. If that's not enough filtration, continue rotating the filter until you reach the shutter speed you desire. Using the above example, you can even get down to 1/2 second @ f/8 (8 stops). It should be noted that the calibration marks on the filter ring are to be used only for reference and should not be regarded as accurate settings for specific densities.

A Neutral Density filter is used to create some unusual special effects such as capturing the "blur" of the rippling water of a waterfall or the swirling effect of city traffic. Since it allows the use of slower shutter speeds in bright light, it becomes possible to create these special effects that would normally not be possible to capture without the filter. And, since it can also help to control your depth of field, it permits you to shoot at wider apertures. Ultimately, its value is in helping to prevent bright, overly washed out images shot in bright light.

The ColorCore process allows Tiffen to control the color and density of their filters, and the characteristics of special effects filters with much greater accuracy than typical dyed-in-the-mass filters, which usually exhibit color and density variations. In this way, Tiffen can better control the various densities of their filters and thereby create more exact degrees of filtration.

  • Thin Profile Ring (9mm) - The wider front filter ring helps reduce the possibility of vignetting (the darkening of corners) at wide angle and is not deep enough to accommodate a lens cap
  • It allows you to have continuous control over the amount of light coming through your lens in an approximate range of 2 (ND 0.6) to 8 (ND 2.4) stops

Neutral Density Filters Have Four Main Uses

  • To enable slow shutter speeds to be used, especially with high speed ISOs, to record movement in subjects such as waterfalls, clouds, or cars
  • To decrease depth of field by allowing wider apertures to be used, which helps separate subjects from their background
  • To decrease the effective ISO of high speed film (above ISO 400) and allow it to be used outdoors in bright situation
  • To allow cine and video cameras (which have fixed shutter speeds) to film subjects such as snow, sand or other bright scenes which could cause overexposure
