Questions & Answers

CARL C : I have a Canon Mark II 5d camera. Will it fit my 58mm and 77mm lens?ANDREW R : This filter fits lenses that are equipped with a 58mm diameter threaded filter ring
Travis R : How stiff is the motion of this? Will hold when camera is moving about?DOUGLAS A : When I use this filter I am always on a tripod, so not a lot of motion, but it has never crept on me. Besides, being as how it is variable you will be trying different settings, and in doing that you will be double checking the setting.ANDREW B : Motion is smooth and no it will not move when the camera moves.JOE V : Hello Travis I have only used this filter a few times it is made of a good quality and will hold at any position you set it at. .It does take time to master the full advantage of the filter. I would recommend this to a friend . i hope this helps. Saying hello from Pittsburgh P.S. very good price on this filter i paid more than $99.00 for it.RANDALL F : I have not had any problems with it shifting during movement.EVERETT P : Excellent filter! Very happy with purchase. Its a very firm fit and motion, but loose enough so you can turn it to choose the stop light number you want. No, it does not move when you are moving the camera about. One thing you will want to remember - if you're shooting using manual focus, you have to hold your focus ring on your lens while your adjusting your stop light setting, or your focus will move out of position. If you are shooting using Auto-focus, you won't have any problem. I shoot alot in manual focus so I have to hold the focus ring on the lens to keep it from moving when I'm making adjustments. Its not a big deal, just something to remember.OSCAR M : I bought it about a year ago and works very well, Stiff enough so it keeps in place when moving the camera but also very smooth when adjusting it to different exposures. Very well built in general MARY C : You can certainly adjust the settings easily, but the filter will stay at your position without any slippage as you move the camera.NAVEED J : My copy has creamy smooth click less motion, not stiff. It has not deviated from my setting but then I have not subjected it to anything more than walking about movement.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?GILBERT A : 2-8 stop all in one, why not.DARRIN L : Wanted a low cost 4k video cameraD S : to filter out bright light when taking pictures of the snow, so I can use a slower shutter speedJAMES D R : it was offered as free itemMARK W : Gift with lensMARLON C : recommend it by Manny Nunez, for wedding videographer”ALEC G : this is a great vnd - and now I have one for each 58mm lens!GREGORY Q : I’ve wanted one of these for a while. It’s a birthday present for a family member.AMIR N : I have the 82mm filter and it's a great tool to control bright, sunny outdoor video days without going much tighter than f/9....and allows wider apertures without blowing out the scene when a well exposed blurred background scene is desirable, going to try this on a Nikon 50mm f/1.8 and according to my math, should be able to open the lens up all the way, if not close to it for video. Useful for stills as well.ERIC L : i need this for shooting video on my x t3MICHAEL Z : I have a very fast lens and want to be able to use it wide open (for bokeh) in some high light situations.

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.

Good Variable ND to start with

This is my first time using a ND filter. This is a great lens for someone to experiment with with out having to pay a bunch of money. I took a bunch of photos of the ocean at dusk and they came out great

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.

62mm variable ND Filter

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.

About Tiffen Variable ND Filter

FEATURED REVIEWS

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 58mm Variable Neutral Density (ND) Filter - 2 to 8 Stop apart is its versatility and adaptability, serving as a multi-functional tool that combines the benefits of several Neutral Density filters into one compact, lightweight package. This high-quality filter is a sought-after accessory in both the photography and videography markets, thanks to its ease of use and the control it offers over depth of field and exposure.

Operating on the same principle as a Circular Polarizer, the Tiffen Variable ND filter allows you to simply rotate the filter until you achieve your desired effect, then capture your shot. This user-friendly design provides continuous control over the amount of light entering your lens, within an approximate range of 2 (ND 0.6) to 8 (ND 2.4) stops. This feature enables you to maintain the integrity of your image, even in challenging lighting conditions.

Unlike other filters, the Tiffen Variable ND filter does not require additional accessories such as a matte box, making it an ideal choice for photographers and videographers seeking a streamlined, efficient solution. Please note, the evenly spaced indexing marks between MIN and MAX are for reference only, serving as a density benchmark to help you return to a previous setting. They do not represent calibrated stops.

Whether you're shooting portraits, landscapes, or outdoor videos, the Tiffen 58mm Variable Neutral Density (ND) Filter - 2 to 8 Stop is a reliable and effective tool that enhances your ability to control light and create stunning visual effects.
