Unique & Versatile.

The Tiffen Variable ND filter is a unique, versatile and flexible tool, affording you the convenience of using several Neutral Density filters all in one. Primarily used as a photographic tool for controlling depth of field and exposure, the Variable ND is being sought in the video market as well because it is fast, easy to use, small, lightweight, and does not require additional accessories such as a matte box.

vnd

A must-have in your camera bag!

The Tiffen Variable ND filter operates on the same principle as a Circular Polarizer – rotate until you reach your desired effect and shoot. It allows you to have continuous control over the amount of light coming through your lens in an approximate range of 2 (ND 0.6) to 8 (ND 2.4) stops – while maintaining the integrity of your image. Note: The evenly spaced indexing marks between MIN and MAX do not represent calibrated stops. They are for reference only, to be used as a density benchmark to return to a previous setting.

  • Provides 2 to 8 stops of light control
  • Thin profile ring – 9mm
  • Wider outer optic to help reduce vignetting at wide angles
  • Comes in Tiffen Professional packaging with padded black nylon pouch
  • Made with high quality optical glass using Tiffen’s ColorCore technology
  • Made in the USA

    Product Description

    The Tiffen variable ND filter is a unique and flexible tool, affording you the convenience of using several neutral density filters in one Neutral density filters reduce the amount of light going through the lens into your camera. By reducing the light you are able to achieve the following: • Allows the use of slow shutter speeds, with high speed films or digital cameras, to record movement/image blur in subjects such as waterfalls, clouds or any fast moving subject • Gives you full control over your depth of field. You are able to decrease depth of field by using wider apertures, which helps separate subjects from their background (subject matter in focus while your background is blurred) • Allows you to shoot high speed film (above ISO 400) in bright outdoor situations by reducing effective ISO • Enables cine and video cameras (which have fixed shutter speeds) to film subjects such as snow, sand or other bright scenes which could cause overexposure Primarily used for controlling depth of field and exposure, the variable ND is easy to use, small, lightweight, and does not require additional accessories. Neutral density filters reduce the amount of light going through the lens into your camera. By reducing the light you are able to use of slow shutter speeds, with high speed films or digital cameras, to record movement/image blur in subjects such as waterfalls or any fast moving subject. It also gives you full control over your depth of field. The Tiffen variable ND filter operates on the same principle as a circular polarizer rotate until you reach your desired effect and shoot.

    The rear diameter and front diameter are different
    5 Stars
    The rear diameter and front diameter are different
    I have the 58mm variable neutral density filter because the lens I want this to screw into is 58mm. The rear part that screws into the camera lens is 58mm. Then the front part of the filter is larger. I have read that it is larger to reduce the amount this lens blocks light at the corners of wide angle lenses. For mine, I can verify that this front diameter thread is 67mm. I was able to screw in a JJC 67mm hood. I am using this on a Micro Four Thirds Lumix 12-35mm lens. I am able, without the hood, to use the lens all the way at the 12mm wide focal length. When I use the JJC hood, there is light blocking in the corners up to about 18mm. I use it at 20mm and greater to make sure. Please refer to the attached pictures. I am using this on an Olympus M1 original mirrorless camera. The reason I have this is to be able to take longer exposure photographs to get water and clouds to blur. Setting the exposure is a dance between the shutter speed, the aperture, the ISO, and the filter density. Even with the mirrorless camera's ability to preview the image through the electronic view finder, and the ability to have the histogram live in the view finder, I still have to shoot and review the image to get the exposure correct.
