The Tiffen ND 3.0 is a professional-grade solid neutral density filter that provides a massive 10-stop reduction in light, enabling extreme long-exposure photography in broad daylight.
| Optical Density | 3.0 |
| Filter Factor | 1000x |
| Light Transmission | 0.1% |
| Available Diameters | 52mm, 58mm, 62mm, 67mm, 72mm, 77mm, 82mm |
The Tiffen ND 3.0 provides exactly 10 stops of light reduction, which is equivalent to an optical density of 3.0 or a filter factor of 1000x.
While Tiffen's ColorCore technology minimizes shifts, 10-stop filters may introduce a slight warm or cool cast depending on the light source, which is easily corrected in post-processing.
No, the ND 3.0 is not safe for direct solar viewing or photography. It does not block sufficient Infrared (IR) or Ultraviolet (UV) radiation to protect your eyes or camera sensor.
