Does it has anti-reflection coating? Will it show a green dot ghost effect when facing to a spot light?
Asked by: Yuen
The Tiffen 4 x 5.65" Digital Diffusion/FX 1/2 Filter does not have a specialized anti-reflection coating, but it is constructed using Tiffen's proprietary ColorCore technology, which laminates the filter material between two pieces of Water White optical glass. It will not show a green dot ghost effect when facing to a spotlight.
