The primary purpose of this filter is to reduce the amount of light entering the camera lens, allowing for longer exposure times or wider apertures. It's particularly useful in bright conditions and is often used in landscape, architecture, and astrophotography.
The IR attenuation feature suppresses infrared light wavelengths above 700nm. This is beneficial when shooting with CCD and CMOS sensors, which can be sensitive to infrared pollution, affecting color balance in challenging lighting conditions.
Tiffen ColorCore technology is a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass and grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. This ensures color consistency and accuracy across various lighting conditions.
This filter is designed to fit lenses or matte boxes with a 4.5" diameter. It's compatible with a wide range of camera models, but it's always best to check your camera's specifications to ensure compatibility.
This filter is crafted from premium water white optical glass, ensuring exceptional clarity in your images. It also utilizes Tiffen ColorCore technology to maintain optical precision and color quality across various lighting scenarios.

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.

These are the #1 piece of gear to grab for shooting on DSLR's during bright, sunny lighting conditions. The whole series of IRND filters by Tiffin allow you to shoot at shallow depth of field to create that iconic, filmic look.

Last year, I was selected as a beta tester for the new Nikon PocketWizard system, but I've been waiting until now to get my hands on the production models. Was it worth the wait?
