Tiffen 77mm Neutral Density (ND) 0.6 Filter
The 77mm 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

I used it at a water fall in NJ and got good results, however, I did not get the same result in Florida under glaring sun, I needed to add another filter or maybe get a higher density one, over all a very good product

Comments about Tiffen 77mm Neutral Density (ND) 0.6 Filter:
Keeps the light out so I don't have to close the aperture. Fits snugly, never slips off, and the lens cap can be placed firmly against it. I have used this for a wedding I shot on a very bright day.

Comments about Tiffen 77mm Neutral Density (ND) 0.6 Filter:
I shoot a lot outside and in Louisiana the sun is very bright. This filter works great to cut down the the brightness and allow me to flash sync at 1/250 easily without having the color messed with.

Comments about Tiffen 77mm Neutral Density (ND) 0.6 Filter:
I found this great for use at the beach. Even during the peak light of the day it works great. The stops you give up are not an issue because of the tome of day and light differential.

Comments about Tiffen 77mm Neutral Density (ND) 0.6 Filter:
I wanted a filter that would put some colour back into the sky and this filter does that perfectly. I'm sure it will be fabulous in other situations too such as slowing down water for that silky effect but I've yet to try that.

Comments about Tiffen 77mm Neutral Density (ND) 0.6 Filter:
Here's something that should be in your bag: a good Neutral Density filter. Let's say you're shooting in bright daylight conditions, and you want to use some slow shutter speeds, without getting too much depth of field. Unfortunately, you can only dial the ISO down so far, before you need another option.
This Tiffen 0.6 ND filter worked really well for us on a recent project. It appears to be very good optically, and the construction is pro-level.
Pros
- Clear Optics
Cons
- Hard to attach
Best Uses

Comments about Tiffen 77mm Neutral Density (ND) 0.6 Filter:
I do a lot of time lapse photography, and this is a must-have for doing long exposures in day light. I bought it with the ND 0.9 filter, and I can combine them to get three different levels of step down. I also use a step down ring to adapt from a 77 mm to a 72 mm lens, since I have both.
