Especially useful in bright light conditions to help prevent overexposure. Also allows proper exposure at a wider lens opening for reduced depth-of-field to highlight a key subject by making the foreground and/or background out of focus. Neutral Density filters eliminate overly bright, washed-out images, balance exposure, control depth-of-field and allow slower shutter speeds to produce blurred motion effects.

I bought this filter for a much different purpose than most people on here will. I purchased this from the perspective of an eyecare practitioner. While this filter is an amazing price for a camera filter which will subtly decrease the amount of light into the aperture without affecting the color balance-this is exactly what happens when you place the filter in front of the eye.When the filter is placed in front of the eye's aperture (the pupil), it allows me to ascertain diseases of the pupil (and therefore the optic nerve and brain) with more of a subtle and fine tooth comb than I usually would. It makes a small defect look artificially larger and therefore much easier to pick up. This can be the difference between picking up a patient with a finite nerve problem signaling a brain tumor and missing it. This can get a patient the help they need sooner rather than later. All because of a camera lens that is negligible in cost, but a lot of docs don't think to do or haven't been taught to do.I'm so glad I picked this little guy up, it takes up virtually no space in my white coat pocket and it's a non invasive way of double checking when I'm not sure of something, it's a "better safe than sorry" measure. And if I ever decide to buy a camera that's worthy of it, it will serve double duty and I'm sure it will take amazing photos.

I bought this for my Canon 24mm 2.8 lens. I was wary of the Tiffen brand, but due to the good reviews, I decided to purchase it. I'm not sure if I just received a horrible copy or what, but this filter creates a HORRIBLE haze over your photos. It makes the colors look dull and washed out. Check out my photos to find out what I mean. They are both straight out of camera jpegs. The second photo there was captured with a Samsung kit lens + b&w filter and the other with the Canon 24mm 2.8 lens + tiffen filter. The samsung one has much better clarity and color simply due to the superior filter. I will not purchase any Tiffen brand filter again especially when the b&w one is only about $5 more! You can fix the haze to an extent in post processing, but only to an extent. Trust me, I've done extensive comparisons.

I purchased this Tiffen ND back in 2007, because I didn't have much money as I recall. Can't remember why, it's 2015 now....Oh, got a new GF that year. I also have some .6, .9, and I think a 10 or 12, mostly Tiffen, but not all. Anyway, I couldn't afford a Hoya, B&W, or some other brand at that time. To my surprise, this is a decent ND filter. I mean I would buy certain Tiffen NDs again.Remember, the .3 doesn't cut much light at all. I do believe I have a .3, 2-.6s, a .9, etc. Then I can "custom" combo them to reduce the light in most situations.I've taken some great photos with it. Almost 8 years later, I still have all my ND filters...can't say much about that GF, but still have the filters!

As posted on the page for the 0.9 density filter:Bought this with Tiffen's 0.3 and 0.6 filters. Why?Tiffen are great quality for the price. I'm happy to use the filters by stacking them, although I may go with a variable ND filter in the future. This time, I decided there was more potential for something to go wrong in the design of a variable ND filter, so I wet for three separate pieces of glass that can be stacked. It is more bulky, but this kind of kit is small anyway, and it was cheaper than the variable ND.My glass arrived quickly and is very high quality. Completely satisfied with the purchase.Best uses for this equipment:1) Video work. If shooting video on your dSLR, you want control over the shutter speed. In most cases you'll want to be shooting at 1/50th or 1/60th of a second. Shutter speed affects the quality of the video, how action is rendered, in a way that is distinct to still photography. But shooting at these shutter speeds may restrict the aperture and/or ISO you can then select for a correct exposure. So, you pop one (or more) of these on your camera to get you to the aperture/ISO you want.2) Landscapes where you want to blur clouds/water/other moving things.3) If you want to shoot with studio strobes and/or speedlights to control the direction and nature of the light in your image, but you also want shallow DoF in the image. These filters are brilliant for this, and you can get really creative with it - this is how I use my filters most of the time, as I specialise in portraiture and video work.Someone posted that they're not very creative filters but, once you understand how they work, you'll find the precision they grant you enable you to get very creative indeed!

Has anyone tried this?I have a problem with a video projector that is too bright for rear projection; despite running it under Theater mode and lowering the brightness as far as the Epson S1 allows. I'm hoping that one of these filters...probably the .3 version...will cut the brightness down yet retain the colors while reducing the annoying light spot bleeding through the screen. I just have to figure out a way to hold the lens at the proper distance from the front of the projector so it doesn't interfere with the projected image. The larger filter size would be more flexible, but the trade-off is expense. I thought a 58 might work well, but I have to check what my old 35mm lens will accept. Might as well get something I could use with my film camera, and I think I remember having a 58mm wide angle lens.Update: still waiting for this item to ship, but I did end up buying a 55mm size that will also fit my wide angle SLR lens.

I like the .3, 77mm neutral density filter. It is a good high quality filter at a reasonable price. My only concern was that when the package arrived, the filter container was not sealed, and the filter had slight smudging. I cleaned it off and inspected it closely and did not detect any scratches. The filter works nicely and is just what I need on those bright sunny days shooting water at the beach to slow it down just a little.

ND filters should be standard equipment for any serious photographer. Primarily I use ND filters for use in the blazing bright mountain snow; the perfect solution without changing colors like a CPL filter can. I have been very please with all the Tiffen filters I have purchased and never hesitate to shop Tiffen first when I'm in need of a new filter or a replacement. I know are bothered by the vignetting you can get from screw-on type ND filters but I haven't noticed this to be a problem as long as enough light is available. I fact, this filter is most useful when too much light is available. Until something happens to change my mind, I will tell everyone, "You can't go wrong with Tiffen filters."

ND Filters are a great addition for videography. Many high end video consumer cameras have them built in (through software) so they are not as popular as they once were, but my preference is to make as many changes optically to the incoming light rather than using the in-camera software. For those of you that are new to Videography or Photography, a Tiffen ND 0.3 Filter is the same as a ND2 filter from other brands.* Look under the products picture 'Customer Images' to see my pictures and how I use the ND Filter on my Vado HD pocket camcorder. *

Although you can buy an ND filter to decrease the depth of field, I find the decreased contrast of the filter much more obvious and desirable. The .3 filter definitely reduces the overly contrasty look of outdoor photos. The filtering is also so fine that there is no visible grain from the filter itself. The only inevitable and occasional consequence is a slight reduction in color vibrancy in some shots but that is not the fault of the filter. This is just a compromise that comes with reduced contrast sometimes depending on lighting conditions.
