43mm WW IR Neutral Density 3.0 Filter
The Tiffen W43IRND30 is a 43mm neutral density filter rated at 3.0 density, providing a 10-stop reduction in light entering the lens. It uses water white glass for high transmission and minimal colour shift. An integrated IR blocker reduces infrared contamination during long exposures. The filter threads directly onto compatible 43mm lens barrels.
Upgrades from lighter ND filters
Photographers moving up from 6-stop or lower density filters gain the ability to use significantly slower shutter speeds or wider apertures in bright daylight. The jump is worth it when creative motion blur or shallow depth of field cannot be achieved with lighter filtration. The IR-cut coating addresses colour pollution that becomes visible at extreme densities on crop-sensor cameras.
Suits landscape and long-exposure shooters
This filter suits photographers who need maximum light reduction for silky water, cloud movement or wide-aperture portraits in full sun. The 43mm thread limits use to lenses with that specific filter diameter. Buyers requiring larger thread sizes or variable density adjustment should look at other options.

Questions about this item
Will the 43mm thread fit my lens front?
The filter uses a standard 43mm thread, so it screws onto any lens with a matching 43mm filter diameter printed on the barrel or cap.
How do I attach it without cross-threading the 43mm ring?
Align the filter squarely, turn gently clockwise until it seats, then give a light final twist — forcing it at an angle is the common mistake.
Does the water white glass coating need special cleaning later?
Clean with a microfibre cloth and lens fluid; the water white glass resists scratches, but avoid abrasive wipes that could damage the IR-blocking layer.
