Tiffen 82 mm Digital Light Control Filter Kit
The Tiffen 82 mm Digital Light Control Filter Kit contains three highly useful filters to help better control exposure results and the overall appearance of the image. These filters, a circular polariser, a 0.6 full neutral density filter and a 0.6 graduated neutral density filter, are ideally suited for use with digital SLR cameras due to their increased sensitivity to light. Each of these filters can provide a unique advantage for working in challenging lighting conditions to produce well-exposed and balanced images.
Each of these filters measures 82 mm and they are presented in a padded nylon filter pouch to protect them during transport.
Circular Polariser
A circular polariser helps to reduce reflections and glare by filtering light that has become polarised due to reflection from a non-metallic surface. This results in a noticeable increase in the saturation of skies and foliage, as well as clearer images when shooting in hazy conditions. A circular polariser differs from a linear polariser in that it supports full use of a camera's autofocus and auto-exposure functions.
Full Neutral Density
A full neutral density filter creates a general, uniform darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than normally required. By slowing your exposure time or increasing your aperture, you can more easily control depth of field and convey movement. Neutral density filters do not affect the colouration of the image and are ideal for pairing with other filters. This filter has a density of 0.6, providing a 2-stop exposure reduction.
Graduated Neutral Density
A graduated neutral density filter helps to specifically darken skies and other bright areas of the image whilst allowing a portion of the image to remain unaffected by filtration. The filter is denser on the edge and fades to clear in the middle, with a soft line between the density and clear areas. This filter also has a density of 0.6, providing a 2-stop exposure reduction for the area covered by the density.
Tiffen ColorCore Technology
Tiffen filters are manufactured using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass, grinding it flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, then mounting it in precision metal rings.
