    All the older versions of the Nikkor lenses (Ai, K, Pre Ai) have a much longer focus throw, so it would be better to use any of them versus the Ai-S versions for creating video. I think the Ai-S versions are the precursors (in concept) to Autofocus (made easier to fast focus).

      Hello! I believe you would need to shoot without the lens hood for the filter to fit since the vnd is two pieces of glass, it's a bit thicker than smaller uv filters. However I never shoot with a lens hood so it hasn't been an issue for me. Let me know if this helps!

      It's a bit of a convention nowadays. Historically, light was mainly produced by hot, glowing things. The colour of the light emitted is dictated by Wien's law, wavelength is inversely proportional to its temperature. In other words, the hotter it is the bluer it becomes. So therefore a 10000 K light would appear blue and a 2500 K light would appear red. The thing is, not all light sources are now glowing stuff (e.g, LEDs). And these have a wider range of colours available to them. Colour turns out to be two dimensional and so there's also an axis that goes from green to magenta which is referred to as tint.
