Tiffen Variable Neutral Filters

[PEC]

Do any of you have this?

Wondering about: Quality and Color rendition.

Thanks!

So I guess no one has opted for the Tiffen and went the Singh Ray ($$$) route.

I was reading Hobby's assessment - not good - color shift and sharpness issues.

Cheaper than the Singh-Ray. Maybe Ken knows more about it.

Hmm...I guess you wouldnt be using it in this sense. I had just got it and well, wanted to use it. This is an unsharpened image converted from RAW to jpg within LR3.

Here's a video comparing 2 5d's with the same lenses pointed at the same subject using the LCW Fader ND MkII

I am planning to use to create motion in landscapes. Effects of wind and water with it. Also mod day pprtraits

If you have the extra $, the singh-ray is a bit better even compared to the newer Mk II LCW, but you're paying 3x as much. With either, there's a slight color shift, I was reading one review about the Heliopan and it doesnt have the colorshift or sharpness issue.
