Product Usage Instructions
Stacking Filters on Digital SLR Camera Lens
Yes, you can put more than one filter on your Digital SLR camera lens. Stacking neutral density filters is a common practice to achieve greater light reduction. To stack filters, simply screw one filter onto the lens, and then attach another filter on top of it. However, keep in mind that stacking multiple filters can potentially introduce vignetting or image quality degradation. It is recommended to test the combination of filters before important shoots.

Tiffen Close-Up Filters for Macro Photography
Tiffen offers a line of close-up filters, also known as diopter filters,
specifically designed for nature/macro photography. These filters come in a
set of three or can be purchased individually in strengths of +1, +2, and +4.
Each close-up filter has dual threads, allowing you to combine them with other
types of filters for creative macro photography. This eliminates the need for
a specialized macro lens.
Recommendation for General Use Filter
The Tiffen ColorCore technology used in our filters ensures uniform color
and density. While we cannot disclose the exact composition of the material
used, our laminates have been polished to our exact specifications for
reliable and consistent performance. For general use, we recommend any Tiffen
filter that suits your specific needs, such as UV filters for lens protection
or polarizing filters for reducing glare and enhancing colors.

FAQ
Can I put more than one filter on my Digital SLR camera lens and is stacking neutral density filter or filters a good idea?
Yes, you can. Our screw in filters (except for the WID types), are double threaded and can be screwed together. Stacking filters in general can create different effects and bring out your creativity. The only caution is that as you put more filters on the lens you can create vignetting or the cutting off of the corners of your picture. This can happen more with wide angle lenses. You’ll also get vignetting by stacking neutral density filters, depending upon which ones you stack and the order you stack them you’ll get varied effects. We don’t recommend stacking a VND filter but if you do, make it the last one because of the threads. Feel free to experiment and remember you can always stack filters for storage reasons
I’m looking to get into macro photography, does Tiffen make any close up filters or anything for this?
Yes we have a line of close up filters, or diopter filters,great for nature/macro photography. They come in a set of three filters or you can buy them individually in strengths of +1, +2 and +4. Each close- up filter has dual threads so they can be combined with other types of filters giving you the creative edge for doing some very unique macro photography without getting a specialized lens
What filter would you recommend for ‘general use’?
If you are going to keep the filter on at all times to protect the lens, we suggest you get the Tiffen UV Protector, which provides basic UV reduction as well. It will reduce the excess bluishness in images shot at high altitudes, of distant scenes, or when shooting over water. The Tiffen Sky 1-A filter is also suitable for this purpose and many photographers leave it on the lens at all times. It absorbs almost half the UV and is pink-tinted to add a touch of warmth. It generally produces more pleasing skin tones when shooting outdoors in open shade or on overcast days. In short, either filter will suit your purpose and the choice really depends upon whether you want a touch of extra warmth or not. Of course, you can also get both filters and tailor your choice to your requirements and shooting conditions.
I would like to know something more about Tiffen’s ColorCore® technology. Is the core of the filter made of gel or is it glass?
The Tiffen ColorCore technology is a secret proprietary formula so we cannot tell you the exact composition of the material used. However, most Tiffen filters are laminates, which has the advantage of providing uniform color and density even after the filter is polished to our exact specifications. This system has proven extremely reliable and consistent over many decades of filter production
