Product Description:
Neutral Density filters reduce the amount of light passing through the camera lens without changing the color of the scene. They are especially useful in bright light conditions to help prevent overexposure. They also allow proper exposure at a wider lens opening for reduced depth-of-field to highlight a key subject by making the foreground and/or background out of focus.

Great filter, easy to use. It came and the case it was in had opened, and the filter was floating around inside of the box. The filter was not scratched or damaged in any way. It just had a lot of dust on it. It was easilly remidied with a quick puff of the blower. I have gotten good results with this, it works as intended and gives me the 2 stops it advertises. I cannot see any optical issues with the filter, so it is a great one in my book!

ND filters should be standard equipment for any serious photographer. Primarily I use ND filters for use in the blazing bright mountain snow; the perfect solution without changing colors like a CPL filter can. I have been very please with all the Tiffen filters I have purchased and never hesitate to shop Tiffen first when I'm in need of a new filter or a replacement. I know are bothered by the vignetting you can get from screw-on type ND filters but I haven't noticed this to be a problem as long as enough light is available. I fact, this filter is most useful when too much light is available. Until something happens to change my mind, I will tell everyone, "You can't go wrong with Tiffen filters."

This product works great for taking pictures of waterfalls (with a tripod) or for any time you need to use a slower shutter speed. I haven't had any problems with it, used it twice.

Review of the Tiffen 77mm ND 0.6 Filter
ND filters reduce the amount of light entering your camera's lens, slowing down your shutter speed and letting you blur backgrounds when shooting panning action shots. Instead I bought it in lieu of a polarizer to bring out the color in skies, because it has effects similar to polarizers with respect to fixing washed out skies, although it doesn't offer some of the other features polarizers offer.
Nevertheless, I brought this filter on my school trip to Spain for outside shooting (it takes away 2 stops of light so it's not recommended for indoor, night, or available light shooting) on my Sigma 10-20 and Canon 40D, and the pictures it produced are absolutely breathtaking. Sure, part of it was due to Spain's beautiful architecture, but the filter made the skies a deep blue and the buildings really stood out against the blue skies.
I haven't done a lot of action shooting since I bought the filter, especially not on a 10-20 lens, so I can't comment on what effect this lens has on blurring backgrounds in action shots, but for my own purchases I was extremely pleased I bought this filter.

Here is an updated review....
I have used the filter A BUNCH of times, and it has worked great. It does a good job cutting down (blocking, reducing, filtering...whatever you please) on the harsh light (if you happen to have any...such as sunset photos or photos in snowy situations). It is also does a good job aiding the photographer in those action shots where you want background blurring while the subject remains in focus.
Not an expensive filter and worth the money.
