I've bought every brand of filter in the world, including lots of the expensive European brands. I have many, many filters that cost more than many SLR lenses. But after 40+ years in photography and video, I have decided to standardize on Tiffen filters whenever possible. That means, whenever a Tiffen product is available in the size I need it, deliverable on the day I need it.
Some brands of filters cost many multiples of Tiffen prices, but I got burned a couple of years ago in buying a premium, super expensive European ND filter, and liked it less than a comparable Tiffen I owned in another size. My problem was a pronounced color cast in the European brand, so bad that I could not intercut HDSLR video footage.
I think anyone shooting video with a HDSLR camera is well advised not to intermix filter brands. The video files produced by DSLR camera simply do not have enough "elasticity" to be match graded in post. The critical thing in HDSLR video production is to get everything as nearly perfect as possible in camera, and avoid as much color grading as possible in post.
I am currently planning to replace all my Lightcraft Workshop Fader ND filters with Tiffen. I've seen reviews online which highly rate Tiffen Variable ND filters, and I am inclined to believe them given decades of experience with this brand. I only wish Tiffen had not been so late to market with a product of this type -- it would have saved me a lot of money.
Tiffen is a trusted brand, and I like the fact that the are Made in America.

Unique & Versatile.
The Tiffen Variable ND filter is a unique, versatile and flexible tool, affording you the convenience of using several Neutral Density filters all in one. Primarily used as a photographic tool for controlling depth of field and exposure, the Variable ND is being sought in the video market as well because it is fast, easy to use, small, lightweight, and does not require additional accessories such as a matte box.
A must-have in your camera bag!
The Tiffen Variable ND filter operates on the same principle as a Circular Polarizer – rotate until you reach your desired effect and shoot. It allows you to have continuous control over the amount of light coming through your lens in an approximate range of 2 (ND 0.6) to 8 (ND 2.4) stops – while maintaining the integrity of your image. Note: The evenly spaced indexing marks between MIN and MAX do not represent calibrated stops. They are for reference only, to be used as a density benchmark to return to a previous setting.
- Provides 2 to 8 stops of light control
- Thin profile ring – 9mm
- Wider outer optic to help reduce vignetting at wide angles
- Comes in Tiffen Professional packaging with padded black nylon pouch
- Made with high quality optical glass using Tiffen’s ColorCore technology
- Made in the USA

Should I Get It Reviews

The rear diameter and front diameter are different
I have the 58mm variable neutral density filter because the lens I want this to screw into is 58mm. The rear part that screws into the camera lens is 58mm. Then the front part of the filter is larger. I have read that it is larger to reduce the amount this lens blocks light at the corners of wide angle lenses. For mine, I can verify that this front diameter thread is 67mm. I was able to screw in a JJC 67mm hood. I am using this on a Micro Four Thirds Lumix 12-35mm lens. I am able, without the hood, to use the lens all the way at the 12mm wide focal length. When I use the JJC hood, there is light blocking in the corners up to about 18mm. I use it at 20mm and greater to make sure. Please refer to the attached pictures. I am using this on an Olympus M1 original mirrorless camera. The reason I have this is to be able to take longer exposure photographs to get water and clouds to blur. Setting the exposure is a dance between the shutter speed, the aperture, the ISO, and the filter density. Even with the mirrorless camera's ability to preview the image through the electronic view finder, and the ability to have the histogram live in the view finder, I still have to shoot and review the image to get the exposure correct.
