Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
Reduces the amount of light passing through the camera lens without changing the color of the scene. This filter is especially useful in bright- light conditions. Allows proper exposure at a wider lens opening for reduced depth of field to highlight a key subject by making the foreground and/or the background out of focus. A slower shutter speed can be used to produce blurred motion effects.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sunglasses for your camera, February 7, 2001

By	Mr. M. J. Christian "citizensmith" (Sacramento, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Ever seen those photos of rivers and waterfalls where the water is all blurred and misty? This filter can help you achieve that and other effects. It drastically cuts down the light passing through your lens, forcing slower shutter speeds that will give the blur effect.

This is the strongest ND filter, you may want to look at the 0.6 or 0.3 for a less noticable effect. Also, be prepared to use a tripod. This filter will easily push your shutter speed into multiple seconds, so you'd have to have one.

By	P. Falcioni "Ducatisti" (Central Oregon, United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've enjoyed using this Tiffen filter - it's a basic filter, and does what it's supposed to do without problems or hassles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for getting slightly longer exposure times!, June 30, 2009

By	Rolf Bertram "RolfBertram.com" (Anna Maria Island, FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If your aperture is already at the max of usually 22, and you still want a slightly longer exposure time to show the motion of the leaves or such, this works. I got a set of ND's from different manufacturers up to a factor of 1000. Very useful tools for the artistic photographer.
