Key Features
  • 0.6 Optical Density

The filter is densest at the edge and tapers to clear by the middle, with a feathered line between the density and clear areas.

Tiffen 52HTCGND6 Overview

This 52mm Tiffen Graduated ND Digital HT Filter is a graduated neutral density filter that helps to specifically darken skies and other bright areas of the image. The filter is densest at the edge and tapers to clear by the middle, with a feathered line between the density and clear areas. Neutral density filters do not affect the coloration of the image and the 0.6 optical density provides a 2 stop reduction in light from entering the lens. This filter also features a rotating filter ring for flexibility when placing the density over specific areas of the scene.

The Digital HT coating is a high transmission multicoating 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.

0.6 ND graduated filter for darkening skies and other bright areas of the image.
Feathered edge is neither soft nor hard, providing a natural-appearing taper between the density and clear areas of the filter.
Neutral density filters do not affect the overall coloration of the image.
Rotating filter ring allows more control over placement of density in the image.
Digital HT multicoating provides increased strength, durability, and optical clarity for greater light transmission and protection against scratches.
Tiffen filters are 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, then mounting to precision metal rings.

Tiffen 52HTCGND6 Reviews

Poor Quality

This product is described by Tiffen as state of the art ... made for the discerning professional ... I shot some pictures of light fixtures in my house to practice using this filter and every single picture had a green ghost in it the size of the light fixture. A very poor quality product that had to be returned to B&H

Good Product

Well built, no problems. I guess the issue was my fault -- perhaps I was expecting more darkening from 2 stops. So, my personal reaction was the effect of this filter was less dramatic than I expected. So, the good news is that if you fear this is too much -- it's not -- it's subtle. In fact, I ended up using this along with a variable ND. But -- it does work, is well built, and after pixel peeping stills and video to death I could not find any negative effects of using this filter. It was a toss up between four and five stars. It could be either.
