Questions & Answers

Susan T : Does this filter fit on the Canon 80D Camera?PETER LA D : It is not dependent on the camera. This filter will fit a LENS that has a 77 mm filter thread. Many Canon SLR LENSES that will fit the 80D camera have such a filter thread and many do not.
Suneel B : can lens cap be put on it?MICHAEL E : Yes.MATT Z : No it cannot. If you want a Vari ND that can look at the option from B+W filters. The 77mm filter takes an 82mm lens cap.IRV C : No to lens cap. No to lens shade.LAURENCE D : Yes. I use it on a Canon EF Zoom 24?105mm F/4.0 and Canon EF Zoom 24 ? 70mm F/2.8 and the lens caps fit on the Tiffen 77mm Variable Neutral Density Filter.DARYL C : Perhaps you can find a neoprene cap from LensCoat called a "Hoodie". I think their small size will fit. The diameter of the Tiffen Variable ND is 3.5". Hope this helps.ANDREW W : yesDARYL C : No. There are no threads to mount anything.
BRIAN D : Is there a label on the filter showing the stop reductions (i.e 2,3,4,5,6,7,8) or is it just "min . . . . . . max"? I need to know that I am at 4 stop reduction for example. How do I do that?ETHAN B : There are marks on the side of the filter indicating stop reductions. These are indicated with dots, not with the numbers per se. It starts with an triangle indicating "Min" (1), two lighter grey dots (2,3), one ligher white dot (4), then three grey dots (5,6,7), finally an arrow indicating "Max" (8). They assume you can do the math, but numbers, and some lines in-between, would have been helpful. However, such a system probably would have resulted in considerably higher production costs, hence a more expensive product. This is a very good ND filter, somewhat heavy but well-built, and no apparent optical problems. I like it a lot!DONALD C : Brian - That 77mm variable neutral density filter does not have any stop points or clicks. So using it is like a polarizing filter: turning it to the desired effect. To better estimate - sorry that is the best that is going to happen - before you put the filter on, get readings from your meter. Put the lens on and assess the changes in the aperture or shutter speed. Do the math and figure out where 4 stops will be. Or take a series of shots at various points.DAVID L : I'm certain that it's not possible to determine the exact reduction in stop levels. It is just going to be a relative approximation. The scale is marked with 8 dots spaced evenly out with "Min" and "Max" at each end. I'm not sure any of the Variable ND filters on the market can accurately dial in the stop level.BYRON M : There are dots between min & maxROBERT M : There are several divisions between min and max but they are not exactly corresponding to the number of stop reduction. According to the manual, it is for reference only.DARYL C : Hi Brian, There are no number markings on the filter representing specific stops. There are only index marks. From the manual "The evenly spaced indexing marks between MIN and MAX do not represent calibrated stops. They are for reference only, to be used as a density benchmark to return to a previous setting." Hope this helps. You could try this, note the exposure reading without the filter installed. Then install the filter and adjust the exposure reading in camera until it is 4 stops lower.EDWARD F : There is a min and a max point, and they are labeled as such. Between those two labels there are white dots to indicated how far you are between the min and max points. Those white dots are not labeled, but you can figure out where your different stops are. You just have to spend a few minutes thinking about it and it will become obvious.gerald v : No markings giving stop loss. Min/Max with spacing of dots are the only markings. Of course, you can measure the amount of loss through the camera's metering system.DAVID C : No, there aren't set markings that show stops. There are min-max hash marks but it doesn't say how many stops of light.

I'm glad I trusted Tiffen and so should you!

It installs without a hitch. It is simple to rotate, control, and is clearly marked. There are no problems as long as you remain inside the indicated minimum and maximum. I like to take long exposures at sunrise and sunset, and I set it to the lowest setting to let just enough light through to enable auto-focus before moving it to the desired location. I haven't noticed any glitches or a decline in quality anywhere. I highly recommend this ND filter.

It works but has some issues.

Works pretty well, but adds a little haze to video (tough to correct) and creates the dreaded VND "X" pretty early compared to its (much more expensive) counter-parts. Works well for a budget ND, but I feel like there are cheaper options that work as well or better. I'll be upgrading this year.

Tiffen Variable Neutral Density Filter

I was very hesitant to buy a Neutral Density filter. I read good reviews about this on, so I bought it. I am pleased with it. It lengthen the shutter speed which is important for photos in full sun or even at night.

Filter is variable, impressions are solid.

I've gotten to use this product several times and I love it. The initial feeling and build quality is sturdy and moves smoothly. I like the variance in stops of light it provides. If I had something negative to say, and why I rated it 4 stars is some of the black cross hatching kind of stuff that happens but it's rare and with video I don't have the problem, just shooting wide photographs. Overall quality is great, photos come out clear on my A7RIII. I would and have recommended this variable ND filter.

Perfect for the Nikon P1000

I bought this to use with my Nikon P1000 which can only stop down to f8, and adjusts the shutter speed to compensate. So filming 100 ISO at 25 fps at 1/50 in bright daylight is impossible without an ND filter. The variable ND was my starting point for this camera as I needed something I could work with fast and I also trust Tiffen's stuff. I initially bought a cheap filter from a box store while I waited for Adorama to finish Passover to ship and needed something urgently. That variable ND was horrendous and left big purple splashes that looked like horrible birthmarks on the image and you couldn't use it at it's marked maximum or even one stop under max. The Tiffen on the other hand works flawlessly. The only drawback I see is there's a little polarization so the windows at work look smudged.

I would recommend this ND filter. It is nicely built. Feels solid and moves smooth. Nice and clear glass. Was taking photos in the snow and it was working great. Just past max or right at max you get the x but it’s to be expected. Nice filter.

Essential gear

As video becomes more frequent and easier to use, we learn about the nuances of creating quality work in that medium. One of the standards is to make your work cinematic, rather than video - film-like rather than tv soap opera or newsy. This filter allows that, by giving you the ability to set your camera at film settings - 24fps and 1/48 shutter speed (60fps and 1/120 for slow mo) - known at the 180* rule. Often 24fps at 1/48th of a second means you have too much light for a proper exposure. Some cameras don't let you adjust for that by lowering the ISO far enough, and maybe more importantly, when you compensate by setting the f-stop higher, you loose the nice (and cinematic) bokeh background. The best option is this variable ND, which allows you to dial in how much light you need to cut (like putting on progressively darker sunglasses) for a proper exposure, without worrying about any of those other adjustments. Yes it's good for still photo work, for some of the same reasons, but it essential gear for videographers looking for a high quality cinematic look.

Tiffen Variable ND

By Rich

This is a great product. I like how they made the filter bigger so you do not pick up any Vignettes. I have the Genus Variable ND also but it gives you an ugly yellow cast when you go to "8" - this one does not.

Terrific ND Filter

By Delmar J.

Unlike several reviewers who complainted about the variable ND filter at the highest settings, I read the instruction book and learned you do not use this at the maximum and minium rotation. You stop at the marked Min and Max settings. No cross star affect when you follow the directions. I have used this on a Nikon 17-55mm F/2.8 lens and got great results. I tested the ND settings at min in one step increments up to the max settings. The pictures were excellent. No issues with AF or AE ...

What sets the Tiffen 77mm Variable Neutral Density (ND) Filter apart is its unparalleled versatility and ease of use, making it an indispensable tool for photographers and videographers alike. This premium quality filter provides the functionality of multiple ND filters in a single, compact package, allowing for seamless control over your camera's depth of field and exposure levels.

Crafted with precision, the Tiffen Variable ND Filter boasts a range of 2 to 8 stops of light reduction, enabling you to fine-tune the amount of light entering your lens with the simple twist of the filter. This continuous adjustment capability, from ND 0.6 to ND 2.4, ensures that you can achieve the perfect exposure without compromising the quality of your images.

The filter's design is based on the principles of a Circular Polarizer, which means you can effortlessly rotate it to dial in your desired effect and capture your shot without the need for additional cumbersome accessories like a matte box. Its smooth rotation mechanism is highly praised for its dampened movement, ensuring precise control and a professional feel.

Moreover, the Tiffen Variable ND Filter is constructed to be robust and durable, with a weight that conveys its high-quality build, suitable for professional use. The filter's larger size has been thoughtfully designed to minimize the risk of vignetting, ensuring clear and consistent image quality across the frame, even when paired with wide-angle lenses.

While the filter includes indexing marks between the MIN and MAX settings for reference, it is important to note that these are not calibrated stops but rather serve as a visual guide to help you return to a previously used setting with ease.

Whether you're shooting landscapes, portraits, or on-the-go video, the Tiffen 77mm Variable ND Filter is a powerful asset for controlling light and achieving the artistic effects you desire with your photography and videography projects.
