The Tiffen 37mm 0.9 ND Filter is a solid neutral density filter providing a 3 stop exposure reduction. This 0.9 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than normally required. By slowing your exposure time or increasing your aperture, you are able to control depth of field and convey movement more easily. Neutral density filters do not affect the coloration of the image and are ideal for pairing with other filters.
This filter is made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and then mounting to precision metal rings.

Comments about Tiffen 37mm 0.9 ND Filter:
Why use a ND Filter on your camcorder?
You get better contrast - it makes the picture more attractive by knocking the specular stuff down to a level that can be managed by the camera's exposure meter.
Depth of Field - The camera can use a wider f-stop, so the in-focus zone is shallow. This just looks nicer as it forces the eye to ignore the stuff in the background that isn't important.

Comments about Tiffen 37mm 0.9 ND Filter:
I bought this for my Canon HF20 HD video camera becuase I film a lot outdoors where sometimes the sun is just too much and the cameras limitations to decrease washout make for poor video. I tried other densities from .2 to 1 to settle in on this particular density for its darker qualities. I like the ease of installing when needed and the fact that it has both front and rear threads makes it easy to use other filters or glass like UV protectors and even allows me to attach my wide angle lens to the front. You can't beat the price for value from Tiffen products.

Comments about Tiffen 37mm 0.9 ND Filter:
My PTZ network camera can be panned to look directly into the sun. It requires a minimum 85% blocking filter to protect the sensor from sun damage. A 0.9 ND filter is 87%. I removed the filter from it's aluminum holder, then taped it to the lens barrel of a network camera.
