Size: 77mm

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 when reducing 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.

Product Description

Neutral Density filters evenly reduce the amount of light passing thru the lens without effecting color. Ideal for reducing bright light in large aperature situations when a narrow depth is field is needed. Allows for slower shutter speeds when blurring or showing of movement is desired.

Tiffen Neutral Density filters are available in most sizes and in three strengths: .3 (2X) Which reduces the light by one f-stop. .6 (4X) Reduces the light two f-stops. .9 (8X) Reduces the light three f-stops.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Quality Filter For A Cheap Price, May 5, 2009

Although you can buy an ND filter to decrease the depth of field, I find the decreased contrast of the filter much more obvious and desirable. The .3 filter definitely reduces the overly contrasty look of outdoor photos. The filtering is also so fine that there is no visible grain from the filter itself. The only inevitable and occasional consequence is a slight reduction in color vibrancy in some shots but that is not the fault of the filter. This is just a compromise that comes with reduced contrast sometimes depending on lighting conditions.

I love your neutral greyness

You screw-in and screw out, 52 mm

do without. I Adore--rama you.

5.0 out of 5 stars ND Filters: Great For Video, June 27, 2009

ND Filters are a great addition for videography. Many high end video consumer cameras have them built in (through software) so they are not as popular as they once were, but my preference is to make as many changes optically to the incoming light rather than using the in-camera software. For those of you that are new to Videography or Photography, a Tiffen ND 0.3 Filter is the same as a ND2 filter from other brands.

* Look under the products picture 'Customer Images' to see my pictures and how I use the ND Filter on my Vado HD pocket camcorder. *
