Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- ColorCore technology maintains neutral color without introducing unwanted tints
- Two-stop light reduction is versatile enough for both wider apertures and slower shutter speed effects
- Small 30mm size adds virtually no weight or bulk to compact camera setups
- Allows use of wider apertures in bright conditions for shallow depth-of-field control
👎 Cons
- 30mm thread size limits compatibility to a narrow range of smaller lenses
- Fixed two-stop density offers no adjustment, so stronger or weaker filtration requires a separate filter
- No multi-coating specified, which may make it more susceptible to flare than coated alternatives
- Does not include a protective case or pouch
Frequently Asked Questions
How many stops of light does this filter reduce?
The Tiffen 30ND6 has a density of 0.6, which reduces light transmission by two stops.
Does this filter add a color cast to images?
No. The filter uses Tiffen's ColorCore technology, which is designed to provide neutral color balance without tinting the image.
What lens thread size does this filter fit?
This filter fits lenses with a 30mm front filter thread. Check your lens cap or lens barrel markings to confirm your thread size.
Can I stack this filter with other 30mm filters?
Technically yes, though stacking filters on a 30mm thread may increase the risk of vignetting, especially on wider focal lengths.
