  • Exceptional clarity from ColorCore glass construction

  • Durable Water White glass protects the front element

Tiffen 52mm ND 1.5 IR Filter

The Tiffen W52IRND15 is a 52mm combination Neutral Density and Infrared filter built with Water White glass and ColorCore technology. It reduces exposure by 5 stops, allowing an ISO reduction to 1/32 for long exposures or wide apertures in bright light. The IR coating prevents infrared contamination to preserve colour accuracy across the frame.

For photographers needing combined ND and IR control

This filter suits shooters who want a single 52mm thread filter to manage bright conditions and block infrared pollution simultaneously. It is not for users whose lenses have a different thread diameter or who require a different neutral density strength for their specific exposure needs.

5-stop density with infrared suppression

The ND 1.5 rating provides 5 stops of light reduction, comfortably handling bright daylight scenes for motion blur or shallow depth of field. The integrated IR coating maintains colour fidelity during these long exposures. It runs out when lighting demands more than 5 stops of reduction or when a variable density range is required.

Questions about this item

Which lens thread size must my lens have to mount this 52 mm Tiffen filter?

Your lens needs a 52 mm front filter thread to attach the Tiffen W52IRND15 directly.

Will the ND 1.5 and IR combination affect colour balance on an older sensor that is sensitive to infrared light?

The filter blocks infrared contamination without a sharp cutoff, preserving the wide colour gamut of older sensors and delivering true-to-life colours.

How can I verify the filter is reducing exposure by the rated 5 stops after I screw it on?

Meter a scene without the filter, then with it fitted; the shutter speed should lengthen or the aperture close by 5 stops (ISO drops to 1/32) if the ND 1.5 is working correctly.
