Tiffen 67mm Neutral Density (ND) 0.6 Filter
The 67mm Neutral Density (ND) 0.6 Filter from Tiffen has several uses and offer the possibility to achieve otherwise unachievable results. It enables the shooter to adjust exposure without affecting color balance. ND filters appear gray and reduce the amount of light reaching the either the sensor of a digital camera or the film plane of a traditional film camera. Neutral Density filters are used to create some unusual special effects such as capturing the "blur" of the rippling water of a waterfall or the swirling effect of city traffic.
Tiffen's ColorCore glass is produced through a process that entails permanently laminating the filter material in between two pieces of optical glass that are ground flat to tolerances of a ten-thousandth of an inch, then mounting them in precision aluminum rings. Determining which neutral density filter yields ideal results for any given lighting situation takes knowledge, experience and a collection of such filters.
Neutral Density Filters Have Four Main Uses
- To enable slow shutter speeds to be used, especially with high speed films, to record movement in subjects such as waterfalls, clouds, or cars
- To decrease depth of field by allowing wider apertures to be used, which helps separate subjects from their background
- To decrease the effective ISO of high speed film (above ISO 400) and allow it to be used outdoors in bright situation
- To allow cine and video cameras (which have fixed shutter speeds) to film subjects such as snow, sand or other bright scenes which could cause overexposure
ColorCore Technology
- Tiffen filters are manufactured using ColorCore technology, a closely guarded proprietary process that entails permanently laminating the filter material in between two pieces of optical glass that are ground flat to tolerances of a ten-thousandth of an inch, then mounting them in precision metal rings
- The ColorCore process allows Tiffen to control the color and density of their filters, and the characteristics of special effects filters with much greater accuracy than typical dyed-in-the-mass filters, which usually exhibit color and density variations
Superior Quality
- Top Hollywood motion picture studios rely on Tiffen filters for their multimillion-dollar productions Superior quality and design make Tiffen the overwhelming choice of moviemakers, professional photographers and even NASA
- Tiffen has also been awarded an Emmy, from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, for its engineering excellence
- Tiffen, a leader in the filter industry, proudly makes its filters in the USA and backs up its products with a solid 10-year warranty

Comments about Tiffen 67mm Neutral Density (ND) 0.6 Filter:
I'd never really used an ND filter and wanted play around with them. This seemed to be reasonably priced and since I was using it on a Tamron 18-50mm f2.8 I really could not justify spending $100+ on a higher end. Feels like it was a good value and did what it was supposed to do, allow for stopping down. Build was good and it did not negatively affect the quality of the image. Overall, very pleased and now I am interested in seeing what the others are able to do.

Comments about Tiffen 67mm Neutral Density (ND) 0.6 Filter:
I use these ND's to get my Canon 5D MKII video shutter speed down to 1/60th when shooting outdoors and in bright environments. Works great, there is no apparent hit on sharpness and the filter is well built. Great bang for buck.

Able to save two stops for clarity in bright situations. As you get into landscape more, you will realize the importance of Neutral density filters. You should be using tripod action for these shots
