Tiffen 77mm Variable ND Magnetic Control System Filter

MCS Magnetic Variable ND Filter

The Tiffen MCS 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.

The Tiffen MCS 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 bench-mark to return to a previous setting.

MCS

Tiffen’s New Magnetic Control System (MCS) technology harnesses magnetic power that allows you to quickly and securely attach Tiffen filters to lenses’ fronts, eliminating the hassle of threading filters on and off.
