Tiffen 4.5" Round 1.2x (4 Stop) Solid Neutral Density Filter

SKU CH-MX6D-VHNN4

A 4.5-inch round solid neutral density filter reduces exposure by four stops using 1.2 density optical glass and ColorCore lamination for colour accuracy

  • 4-stop reduction enables wider apertures in bright light
  • 2 density darkens entire image for depth-of-field control
  • ColorCore lamination maintains true colour without shifts
  • Precision-ground optical glass ensures sharpness with minimal distortion
  • 5-inch round metal ring mount built for durability

4.5-inch Round Neutral Density Filter

The Tiffen 4.5-inch Round 1.2x Solid Neutral Density Filter provides a 4-stop exposure reduction for photographers and videographers who need precise light control. It enables wider apertures or slower shutter speeds in bright conditions without altering image coloration. The filter uses ColorCore technology with optical glass laminated to a flatness tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. Precision metal rings secure the glass for consistent performance.

Sustained Bright-Light Performance

The 1.2 density darkens the entire frame evenly, allowing extended shooting at wide apertures under continuous harsh sunlight. ColorCore construction prevents color shifts from accumulating during long takes or time-lapse sequences. Optical glass minimizes reflections and maintains sharpness across the frame throughout the session. The durable metal mount resists warping or loosening when the filter is left on the lens for hours.

Compatibility Check Before Ordering

Verify that your lens or matte box accepts a 4.5-inch round filter with the stated 1.2 density factor. Confirm the filter thread size or filter holder matches this diameter to avoid vignetting or mounting issues. Ensure your workflow can accommodate a fixed 4-stop reduction rather than a variable or graduated option. Check that stacking this filter with others does not exceed your system's optical path limits.

Questions about this item

Does the 4.5" filter add heat or noise to the camera during long shoots?

The solid neutral density filter is passive glass with no electronics, so it produces no heat, noise or power draw while mounted on the lens.

What lens thread size must I already own to attach this 4.5" round filter?

This filter measures 4.5 inches in diameter and requires a matching 4.5" filter thread or a compatible matte-box tray on the lens or camera system.

Will the 1.2 density (4-stop) filter work with older manual-focus lenses I still use?

Yes, the ColorCore construction maintains consistent colour and clarity without shifting tones, so it pairs cleanly with vintage optics for depth-of-field or motion-blur control.
