Premium Members Charles Papert Posted July 31, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 FYI: I've suffered through two seasons shooting with the Tiffen IR ND's while waiting for the Schneiders to become widely available in the larger strengths. By "suffer", I mean having to tweak the color temperature of the camera every time we change up filters. We measured our rental set last year and found up to 800K difference between specific filters. Tiffen told us that it some of that has to do with the age of the filters, that since they were introduced they have improved the fluctuation in color temp, but even the newest ones still can vary enough to register visually. And of course, stacking filters compounds the issue. Since I can't get my hands on a full set (up to 2.1 or at least 1.8) of the Schneiders yet, I can't say for sure that this issue will be completely avoidable with those, but their reps have told me as much. Bottom line: be very careful buying used Tiffen IR ND's. If you do, put a color temp meter up to them before purchase! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
