The Tiffen 77mm 1.2 ND Digital HT Filter is a solid neutral density filter providing a 4 stop exposure. This 1.2 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.
The Digital HT coating is a high transmission multi-coating that surpasses military specifications for hardness and durability. This optical purity combined with high scratch-resistance results in an easy-to-clean filter with superb imaging quality. They also feature low-profile titanium filter rings for increased strength and vignetting reduction.

Comments about Tiffen 77mm 1.2 ND Digital HT Filter:
I use this filter to shoot weddings in harsh sunlight at a wide apeture. It works like i was expecting I just wish it wasn't so darn expensive! It would get five stars if it weren't for the price.

Comments about Tiffen 77mm 1.2 ND Digital HT Filter:
I found this product to be of great use. Just did a shoot where it was incredibly sunny outside. Popped the filter on and was able to get the blur that I needed. In addition, the filter is incredibly durable. Would definitely buy this filter for any future lenses.

Comments about Tiffen 77mm 1.2 ND Digital HT Filter:
This filter hit the right spot for me. In super bright daylight, it'll let you open up to get good depth of field. But it's not too strong for lower light. It's right in the middle. So if you're looking for a previous stop down in one condition of the other, consider going heavier or lighter. But this was an ideal middle of the road for me.

You're at the right place but the wrong time. Use this filter to extend the exposure time for the effect you want.

This is a great product. Just what I needed. I should have purchased it a long time ago. I can finally capture silky waterfalls.

Comments about Tiffen 77mm 1.2 ND Digital HT Filter:
Use for outdoor portrait photos where I want to use fast apertures and/or fill-flash in manual mode. Works great in bright midday sun. No color distortion. The only downside is that I wish it came with a firm case for better storage protection (it comes with a cushioned wallet-type case)

What more to say, I put it on and it does what it says. I haven't tried the cheaper Tiffen ND so can't compare but this HT filter works great.

Comments about Tiffen 77mm 1.2 ND Digital HT Filter:
I own two ND filters by Tiffen. This one is my favorite due to it's solid construction and use of superior materials.
My other one was much cheaper at a cost savings of more than 50% less but(!), it came with loose glass within a very flimsy ring that resulted in rattling sounds whenever you took it out to place it on the lens.
In contrast, THIS filter is solid and I never have to worry about it falling apart in my hands. No filter caused light flares. Clean sharp images without color change.
I am sticking with Tiffen's HT lenses and multi-coated filters from now on. Worth the extra money in every way.

Comments about Tiffen 77mm 1.2 ND Digital HT Filter:
I use this 4 stop ND filter to photograph water at a slow shutter speed, and also fashion outdoors with flash, which allows me to shoot at a wider aperture during daylight hours (following the Sunny 16 rule, ISO 200 @ f/16 = a shutter speed of 250, with the 4 stop ND filter allows me to shoot at f/4, or ISO 100 at f/2.8, you still need the same amount of flash however).
