The Tiffen 77mm IR Cut Variable Neutral Density filter is a versatile & flexible tool providing 2 to 8 stops of light control, affording you the convenience of using several Neutral Density filters in one lightweight package. ND filters are primarily used as a photographic tool to control depth of field, exposure & enable the use of slower shutter speeds. Landscape photographers use ND filters to create a smooth, time-past, blurred effect in the clouds & water. ND filters are also used in the video market to allow cine & video cameras (which have fixed shutter speeds) to film subjects, such as snow, sand or other bright scenes which would normally cause over-exposure. With the added feature of IR Cut blended in with the Neutral Density, customers can now use strong ND filters on sensitive chip cameras without the fear of IR pollution creeping into their images.
