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

and the way you reduce the light rays

that strike my sensor by one stop.

You screw-in and screw out, 52 mm

no doubt. You are something I cannot

do without. I Adore--rama you.

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. *

I just wish the storage case would not let the filter slide around in it. This is the type of filter you don't always have on your camera. That is why I am complaining about the case. The filter it self is very good. I am happy with the filter.

ND filters should be standard equipment for any serious photographer. Primarily I use ND filters for use in the blazing bright mountain snow; the perfect solution without changing colors like a CPL filter can. I have been very please with all the Tiffen filters I have purchased and never hesitate to shop Tiffen first when I'm in need of a new filter or a replacement. I know are bothered by the vignetting you can get from screw-on type ND filters but I haven't noticed this to be a problem as long as enough light is available. I fact, this filter is most useful when too much light is available. Until something happens to change my mind, I will tell everyone, "You can't go wrong with Tiffen filters."

This filter was a perfect addition to my camera accessories. I used it while taking pictures at Glacier National park and it served well to reduce glare and bring out the true color in my digital SLR. It's a must have if you want to prevent contrast washout.

The filter worked as advertised. I am a far cry from being a proffessional photographer. I came across advice from others about using these filters and I must say the results were great

I do a lot of photos of people in the outdoors. I use the filter so that only the people are in focus and not the background. It works for me.

As usual, the product was delivered quickly and in good condition. However, I ordered a Tiffin 3-stop neutral density filter and that is how the box was labeled. However, the filter inside the case was actually a 2-stop filter. I've decided this filter works for me, but I would have preferred the 3-stop filter. I don't know who messed up here, Amazon or Tiffin, but these kinds of errors are unacceptable!!

does what a ND filter is supposed to do. i would recommend it to most photographers. still sharp for a consumer priced filter.
