Tiffen Neutral Density Filters
These filters reduce the amount of light passing through the camera lens without changing the color of the scene. They are especially useful in bright light conditions to help prevent overexposure. Neutral Density filters also allow proper exposure at a wider lens opening for reduced depth-of-field to highlight a key subject by making the foreground and/or background out of focus.
- F-Stop Reduction of 3 (ND8 or ND103)
- Eliminates overly bright, washed-out images
- Balances exposure
- Controls depth-of-field
- Allows slower shutter speeds to produce blurred motion effects

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've taken a few pictures of the same scenes with and without the filter to test it.
* The filter does cut the amount of light by approximately a factor of 8, which is what it should as a ND 0.9 filter. If you need more, look for a different filter, but this works as advertised.
* In images of the same scene, with auto-white balance on, I notice a *very slight* yellow cast. Gimp (freeware version of Photoshop) fixes it easily, and I'm sure I could fix it by fiddling with the camera's white balance.
* The filter did come a little dusty, but with no damage.
* My filter is held tightly in place, but a few reviews mention it being loose. If it is, you should be able to fix it by tightening the retaining ring.
I also tested it with a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The OD is about 0.9 for most of the visible range. It is 1 at 405 nm and drops to 0.8 at 682 nm. The OD increases sharply at shorter wavelengths and decreases sharply at longer wavelengths, which explains the (again, very slight) yellow cast.
- Long lasting: I have been using them in and off for the past 3 years and they are still going strong.
- Flexibility: 77mm is the filter size of the widely used Canon 24-105L and most all of the other lenses save the 24-70L II are smaller, so you can use this with step up rings.
- Color: They have not distorted colors nearly as bad as other cheap ND’s I have used have.
Cons:
- They cause vingetteing at 24mm because they are not the super thin ones, but that’s obvious so more annoyed at myself than these filters.
Absolutely great quality. This filter feels sturdy and they are sturdy. Neutral density filters are filters that EVERY photographer should have in their bag! I have taken some amazing photos with it. I highly recommend this filter for those needing an ND.
I also have many filter thread step ups so I have used it with multiple different Canon, Tamron and Tokina lenses on my Canon 5d and my Canon70d.
A 1.2 simply cannot be used as intended during the day, wide open which is its purpose in life and why people buy such things. I found this out when my new 1.2 arrived and I excitedly went outside to test it...fail! Had to order this and wait a couple of days. Is just great and opens up some new image options for me.
It arrived clean and seemingly well made. The hood screwed right into it.
BTW, a Voightlander 40mm 1.2 takes a 58mm filter.

I made a test when I received the filter to see if I would lose some image quality, or if it would actually be better than shooting with a very small aperture. It turns out that the sharpness is identical with or without a filter and it's better than with small apertures. There was some color cast, but it was an easy fix with a color balance layer.
The comparison shows from left to right; with Tiffen filter at f5.6 (color cast corrected), without filter at f18 and without filter at f5.6. The pictures were all shot at 1/100s ISO100 and I controlled exposure with a speedlight
