Questions & Answers

FAQ

What is the purpose of the ND 0.3 density in the Tiffen W405IRND3 40.5mm Filter?

The ND 0.3 density reduces the amount of light entering the camera lens by one stop. This allows for the use of wider apertures and slower shutter speeds, which can be particularly beneficial in bright lighting conditions or when aiming to achieve a shallower depth of field or a smooth, flowing appearance of motion.

How does the integrated Infrared (IR) filter in the Tiffen W405IRND3 40.5mm Filter improve my images?

The integrated IR filter blocks infrared light that can cause unwanted color casts in your images. By blocking this IR light, the filter helps to improve the color accuracy and overall quality of your final images.

What is the benefit of the Tiffen W405IRND3 40.5mm Filter being made from Water White glass?

Water White glass is renowned for its exceptional clarity and optical purity. This means that images captured using this filter will retain vibrant colors without any compromise due to IR contamination.

How does the Tiffen W405IRND3 40.5mm Filter aid in post-production editing?

The filter provides greater latitude during post-production editing, particularly beneficial for those working with 8-bit compressed color. This makes it easier to achieve the desired final look for your images.

Tiffen W77IRND21 77mm Filter

Did a test shot. WB set to sun. Focus set to manual. Aperture set to f/16. ISO set to 200. Mounted on tripod with shutter release cable. No filter - the shutter speed was 1/30 sec. With filter, shutter speed 2.5 seconds. Approx 6x exposure time, which matches advertised ratio of 1:128. HOWEVER, the shot with the filter had a decided greenish-aqua color cast. This color cast can be removed easily in post processing.

good filter for long exposure

Using it as a standalone and also in combination with another ND filter to further increase the stops; minimal tint

Tiffen WW IRND Filter Features

  • High quality filter to prevent the color shift caused by the sensitivity of today's digital sensors
  • Tiffen filters are manufactured using ColorCore technology, a closely guarded proprietary process that entails permanently laminating the filter material in between two pieces of optical glass that are ground flat to tolerances of a 10,000th of an inch, then mounting them in precision metal rings
  • 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
  • Natural Density Filters enables slow shutter speeds to be used, especially with high speed films, to record movement in subjects such as waterfalls, clouds, or cars
  • Natural Density Filters decreases depth of field by allowing wider apertures to be used, which helps separate subjects from their background
  • Natural Density Filters decreases the effective ISO of high speed film (above ISO 400) and allow it to be used outdoors in bright situation
  • Natural Density Filters allows cine and video cameras (which have fixed shutter speeds) to film subjects such as snow, sand or other bright scenes which could cause overexposure
  • Minimizes IR Contamination of Images
