What does a 6 stop ND filter do?
What does a 6 stop ND filter do?
A 6-Stop ND Filter allows you to increase the exposure time by six stops (equal to 64 times). In other words, it can make a huge difference, especially when used during hours with low light.
What number is a 6 stop ND filter?
Understanding Neutral Density Filter Names and Numbers
| F-Stop Reduction | Optical Density | Filter Factor |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | 1.5 | 32 |
| 6 | 1.8 | 64 |
| 7 | 2.1 | 128 |
| 8 | 2.4 | 256 |
What does ND 0.6 mean?
When referring to Neutral Density (ND) filters, the density of the filter is measured in optical absorbance. 0.3abs is 50% transmission ( 1 stop ) 0.6 is 25% ( 2 stops ).
How many stops is a 0.6 ND filter?
2 STOPS
How strong is my ND filter?
| ND | OPTICAL DENSITY | F-STOP REDUCTION |
|---|---|---|
| ND2 | 0.3 | 1 STOPS |
| ND4 | 0.6 | 2 STOPS |
| ND8 | 0.9 | 3 STOPS |
| ND16 | 1.2 | 4 STOPS |
Which ND filter is most useful?
6-stop Neutral Density If you’re a landscape photographer who wants to shoot long exposure sunsets, sunrises, waterfalls and moving water, the 6-stop ND is without question the best performing and the most versatile ND filter.
How many stops is ND 6?
What do the numbers on ND filters mean?
| Stops of Light Reduction (There are filters that are measured to a fraction of a stop, but, for simplicity, we are using whole numbers here with the exception of a few filters.) | Optical Density Number (Sometimes prefaced with an “ND” before the number) |
|---|---|
| 3 | ND 0.9 |
| 4 | ND 1.2 |
| 5 | ND 1.5 |
| 6 | ND 1.8 |
How many stops is ND6?
An ND3 cuts the light by 10 stops, an ND6 by 20 stops and an ND9 (if that exists) by 30 stops.
How many stops is ND2 to ND32?
1-5 Stops

How do I know which ND filter to use?
If you want to start with long exposure photography, I suggest to start with a 3, 6 and 10 stops filter. Bottom line, if you love long exposure images, and you shoot a variety of different landscapes, it might be advisable to choose three filters. A 3 stop, a 6 stop, and a 10 stop filter would be ideal.
What is the filter factor of an ND 0.6 filter?
4x
The Tiffen 77mm ND 0.6 Filter is a solid ND filter with a filter factor of 4x that provides a 2-stop exposure reduction. Its 0.6 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than normally required.
