Questions about this gear
What is the difference between a Hard and Soft Grad ND?
A Soft Grad has a wide, gradual transition between the dark and clear areas, making it ideal for uneven horizons. A Hard Grad has a sharp transition for flat, unobstructed horizons like the ocean.
Does the Tiffen ND 0.9 cause color casting?
No, Tiffen's ColorCore process and Water White glass are engineered to maintain high color neutrality, preventing the unwanted tints often found in lower-quality filters.
How many stops of light does an ND 0.9 reduce?
An ND 0.9 filter reduces light by exactly 3 stops at its densest point, allowing for more controlled exposure in bright environments.
About the Tiffen Soft Grade ND 9
- 1.8 Neutral Density Filter
- Increase Exposure Length
- ColorCore Technology
The Tiffen Series 9 ND 2.1 Filter is a solid neutral density filter providing a 7-stop exposure. This 2.1 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than normally required. By increasing your aperture or slowing your exposure time, you can control depth of field and convey movement more easily. Neutral density filters do not affect the coloration of the image and are ideal for pairing with other filters.
This filter is made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and then mounting to precision metal rings. This filter is compatible with Series 9 filter holders.
