Control Light and Exposure for Perfect Photos
Introducing the Tiffen 58mm Neutral Density 0.3 Filter, an essential accessory for photographers seeking to control light and exposure in their images. This solid neutral density filter reduces the amount of light entering the camera lens without altering the color of the scene.
Ideal for bright light conditions, the ND filter helps prevent overexposure and allows for proper exposure at wider lens openings, reducing depth of field to highlight your subject. It also enables the use of slower shutter speeds to create motion blur effects.
Whether you're shooting landscapes, portraits, or action shots, the Tiffen ND filter provides the flexibility to achieve the desired exposure and creative effects in any lighting situation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Tiffen 58ND3 filter do for my photos?
This neutral density filter helps eliminate overly bright, washed-out images, balances exposure, and gives you more control over the depth of field in your photography.
Is this filter compatible with any camera lens?
No, this Tiffen 58ND3 filter has a 58mm diameter, so it is only compatible with camera lenses that have a 58mm filter thread.
Can I use this ND filter with both color and black and white film?
Yes, the Tiffen 58ND3 neutral density filter is designed for use with all film types, whether you are shooting in color or black and white.
Does this filter significantly reduce the amount of light entering the lens?
The ND3 filter provides a reduction equivalent to F-stop 1 on a manual camera, which is a relatively light reduction, useful for balancing exposure in moderately bright conditions.
Do I need a manual camera to use this filter effectively?
While it can be used with various cameras, the F-stop 1 equivalence is noted for a manual camera, suggesting that manual control over exposure settings will allow for the most precise use of this filter's capabilities.
What is the benefit of controlling depth of field with this filter?
Controlling depth of field allows you to selectively blur the background or foreground, drawing attention to your subject and adding artistic quality to your photographs, which this filter helps facilitate by enabling wider apertures in brighter light.
