Hola, puedo aadir este filtro al ND variable de tiffen 77mm? tiene rosca para usar los dos juntos?
Asked by: Anonymous
You can add the 77mm Pearlescent filter first, then stack the 77VND filter on top. You may experience vignetting depending upon your focal length and if you are shooting a full frame or cropped sensor camera.
