Where these two actually differ
- We flag Undisclosed water-repellent coating chemistry and Coating degradation over time on the Think Tank Photo and not on the Tiffen.
- We flag Glass fragmentation and sharp edges on the Tiffen and not on the Think Tank Photo.
- The Think Tank Photo is Ballistic nylon, weather-sealed fabric, metal hardware where the Tiffen is Glass optical elements, aluminum threads, standard camera filter media, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
- We are less certain about the Think Tank Photo grade, at 45% confidence against 78%, because it discloses less.
