Dial it.\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWide open at noon. A 1\/50th shutter in full sun. Motion blur on purpose. A variable ND is the filter that makes the bright part of the day usable, and this one does it with one twist of the ring instead of a pocket full of fixed NDs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Tiffen 77mm Variable ND runs 2 to 8 stops, ND4 to ND256, with hard stops at both ends so you never rotate into the cross-polarized X that ruins cheap VNDs. Overcast to hard noon, video or stills, it's one filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTiffen has been grinding filters in New York since 1938 and still makes its glass in Hauppauge, Long Island. The house trick is ColorCore: the ND layer is laminated between two pieces of Water White optical glass instead of coated on the surface, so the density stays even edge to edge and the color stays neutral.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRange: 2 to 8 stops (ND4 to ND256)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThread: 77mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard stops at both ends of the range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlass: Water White optical glass, ColorCore laminated ND\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA (Hauppauge, New York)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse: video shutter control, wide apertures and long exposures in stills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eImportant Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatch the filter to your lens's 77mm front thread, usually printed on the barrel or the inside of the cap.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmaller lens thread?
