Tiffen 77mm HV Plus Kit

Neutral Density

These filters reduce the amount of light passing through the camera lens without changing the color of the scene.  They are especially useful in bright light conditions to help prevent overexposure.  Neutral Density filters also allow 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.

• Eliminates overly bright, washed-out images
• Balances exposure
• Controls depth-of-field
• Allows slower shutter speeds to produce blurred motion effects

Ultra Circular Polarizer

Polarizers provide color and contrast enhancement. Reflected light often shows up as whitish glare that washes out color in an image. A Polarizer corrects this problem producing deep, dramatically blue skies. It also removes glare from non-metallic surfaces, such as windows and water. Color saturation in general, especially outdoors, can be improved significantly.

• Essential general-use outdoor color filter
• Produces deeper skies and minimizes reflections in black and white and color photography
• Combine a Polarizer with a Red 25 for incredibly dramatic black and white landscapes
• Can be rotated to achieve desired effect

A Circular Polarizer has the same effect as a Polarizer and is used on cameras with beam splitting metering systems commonly found on auto focus SLR's (for most 35mm auto-focus cameras see your camera manual).
