Tiffen 55mm Neutral Density 0.9 Camera Lens Filter

Canon lovers everywhere! If your forte is that of photography, then you ought to get this Tiffen 62mm neutral density 0.9 filter.This a must have filter goes for an average measly $15.99. Great for shooting at wide apertures especially during bright daylights or a prolonged coverage of topography. This neutral density filter is also very useful for panning, rivers and waterfall shots.It prevents the water from looking blurry and misty by reducing the light coming through the lens which slows down the shutter speed thereby reducing the aforementioned blurring thus retaining the color of the subject. It allows one to shoot at f/2.8 with a 180 degree shutter speed at round about 24 FPS (Frames per second) for videos. It is also worth noting that the Tiffen filter doesn’t vignette. To get even more desirable effects, it is advisable to use a tripod.This is because the filter thrusts the shutter speed into several seconds. The filter is also great for producing blurred motion upshots. This can be achieved by slowing the shutter speed. It also reduces out of depth effect that results from wide lens coverage by obscuring the subjects foreground and background. The build quality is immaculate.The filter’s frame is made from metal and the glass is of superb quality which equates to sturdiness. Unlike a filter like Vivitar which is known to at times throw off the cameras white balance leading to purple like images, this filter doesn’t throw off the camera white balance. The good-looking plastic package that comes with the filter acts as a great future storage pack for the filter.Unfortunately this filter is not for everyone. It does not fit on some Sony Camera like the Sony 6. It is also not very dark compared to other neutral density filters. If not handled with care, the Tiffen filter is likely to be scratched. Although this is not an isolated case as most filters suffer from the same as well.This filter is great for bright daylight shots since it doesn’t change the color of the subject. But for prolonged exposure during the daylight, Hoya’s 77mm neutral density does the trick since Tiffen’s filter is not dark enough to stop the image from being over exposed to light. Also, because the filter is not multi-coated, flaring is eminent. But then Tiffen’s 62mm neutral density filter is a worthy filter that is affordable and does what it says it will do.As somebody who shoots on a Canon 5D MKIII and MKII I really must advocate for this $15 (soooo cheap!) upgrade to your photographic experience.

I needed this for an outdoor photoshoot so I could keep my aperture wider in blazing sunlight, and it's perfect. No noticeable drop in image quality, solidly built, comes in a nice case, and it'll stay with my kit everywhere I take my camera.

Pues comúnmente estas cámaras no tienen lente así que un adaptador y que se le pueda poner filtro es ganancia

To begin with let me correct another reviewer that thinks this is a 9 stop ND filter, You sir are mistaken and your review is irrelevant. This is a 0.9 stop ND filter meaning it will only reduce light by 3 stops, wich is not very strong compared to others.If you think that you will be able to use a very slow shutter speed in broad daylight with this filter you are looking at the wrong product, however if you plan on using this at dusk, on a semi-clouded day or a forested area where you will most likely find a waterfall or stream, wich is probably why you are here, then this is the filter for you.It performs exactly as described it reduces light by 3 stops. Another reviewer claims that images look grey and colorless I have yet to see that in any of my images, although when comparing images of with and without it does tend to darken them a tad bit but not really a problem for me.All in all this does the job very well. I also bought Tiffen 58mm Neutral Density 0.6 Filter and Tiffen 58mm Neutral Density 0.3 Filter to have the complete set. with all three you can stack them on top of each other for a stronger effect, altough I would be carefull you might get more light reduction but images tend to come out underexposed. So to conclude this filter is worth 5 stars.PS. The one I recieved is lebled as a 0.6 ND filter when in fact it is a 0.9. seems to be a manufacturing mistake, but not really a problem. just putting it out there.

Nice for long exposure daylight shots, highly recommend.

got this for my kinetic camera for the xbox 360.

How did I ever live without this?? If you don't own one, how are you living right now? It must be tough!I love fast lenses. My favorite is an old 50 1.4. That's a beautiful lens, so long as it's not particularly bright outside. What's the fun in stopping down a 1.4?Using this filter I'm able to shoot at 1.4 in even the brightest conditions. It does seem to warm the colors a bit, but we're all shooting raw (right?) so that's no big deal.If you have a fast 50 and don't own this filter, you're just doing it wrong. Order this now. Seriously. You'll be doing yourself a favor. It's only $16 and you'll get photos in the daylight that nobody else can.It also makes your 1.4 useable with off camera flash (set to low power), virtually impossible without the filter.Only one concern with this filter, I've used it in some fairly extreme conditions and come home to find that the retaining ring on the front side of the glass does wiggle loose on occasion. You'll feel/hear it rattling a bit before anything bad happens. There are two indentations in the ring, just use your fingernail to tighten it down. No biggie.Quit reading, click buy!
