Tiffen Digital HT Overview

The Tiffen 82mm Digital High Transmission (DHT) Circular Polarizing Multi-Coated Filter is a filter that contains the strength of a titanium coating along with high-end optical glass. Using their patented ColorCore technology, this filter represents the highest scratch-resistant durability available. There is no need to worry about cleaning this filter since the coating protects the surface thereby maintaining the optical quality of the glass.

This filter has a low profile design as well an extra durable filter ring. The "Wow" feature is that Digital HT filters are rated to surpass military specifications for hardness and durability - no small achievement.

Light rays which are reflected become polarized. Polarizing filters are used to select which light rays enter your camera lens. They can remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water or glass and also saturate colors providing better contrast.

The effect can be seen through the viewfinder and changed by rotating the filter. The filter factor varies according to how the filter is rotated and its orientation to the sun.

Note:
Circular polarizers are specifically designed for use with auto-focus SLR cameras (They will also work on manual systems and video cameras without problems)
Benefits
This filter eliminates ultraviolet rays to remove haze from outdoor shots as well as polarizing the light to remove reflections, and increase color saturation, without affecting the overall color balance
ColorCore Technology
Top Hollywood motion picture studios rely on Tiffen filters for their multi-million dollar productions
State-of-the-art technological breakthrough in multi-coated photo and video filters
Surpass even military specifications for hardness and durability
Superior Quality
Low profile titanium ring and anti-reflective black lock ring
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 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

Could you tell me, from which focal length value appears the vignetting?
Asked by: louidgi
Full frame sensored cameras will experience vignetting more readily than a cropped sensor camera. You may experience no vignetting using a cropped sensor at a certain focal length, but when shooting the same focal length on a full frame sensor camera body you will experience vignetting. This is due to the magnification value difference in each sensor.

I do not see a high transmission ultra-slim or low profile version of this filter. Will this polarizing filter cause vignetting with wide angle lenses?
Asked by: Jonathan
when using wide angle lens we highly suggest using filter with slim profiles to avoid vignetting.

Would this filter work without vignetting with a 24-70 Sony GMII Zoom ?
Asked by: louidgi
This would depend upon your camera body.... and if it is full frame or cropped sensor. With a cropped sensor, chances are slim for any vignetting at 24mm. For a full frame sensor it is possible, you would need to test.

How does this compare to the wide angle low profile filter that is about $40 cheaper? Which one is recommended for videography/filmmaking?
Asked by: Michael
HT filters include multi-coated glass and titanium coated rings. These are premium quality filters designed to improve scratch resistance on the glass and are most commonly used for shooting in harsh environments.
