Tiffen 49ND6 49mm Neutral Density Filter

The Tiffen 49mm Neutral Density 0.6 Filter is a practical light-reduction tool for photographers and videographers who need to tame bright conditions without changing their creative settings. With a density of 0.6, it cuts exactly two stops of light reaching the sensor or film, which opens up options that would otherwise be unavailable in strong daylight — wider apertures for shallow depth of field, slower shutter speeds for motion blur, or simply a balanced exposure when the ambient light overwhelms your camera's settings. It threads onto any lens with a 49mm front filter diameter, a common size on many compact, mirrorless, and older manual-focus lenses.

At just 0.8 ounces and standard 49mm dimensions, the filter adds negligible weight and bulk, making it easy to keep in a pocket or filter pouch as part of an everyday kit. It is compatible with all film types — color and black-and-white — as well as digital cameras, so it fits into virtually any shooting workflow. The neutral density design aims to reduce light evenly across the visible spectrum, preserving natural color balance in your images. For photographers who frequently shoot wide open in daylight or videographers who need to maintain a 180-degree shutter angle outdoors, this filter is a simple, low-cost solution to a common exposure challenge.
