About Tiffen Square IRND Filter
Bring your outdoor photography to life with the Tiffen Combination 85 IR and 6 Neutral Density (ND) Filter. This high-quality filter is designed to correct the bluish cast that can occur when using tungsten film in daylight conditions. The 85 series of filters are expertly crafted to color balance the tones in your images, ensuring vibrant and true-to-life results.
These yellow filters play a crucial role in adjusting the color temperature differences between the recording medium (film/video) and the light source. In the world of digital photography, color shift is a critical factor that can significantly impact the quality of your images. This color shift is directly influenced by the infrared spectrum, making the Tiffen Combination 85 IR and 6 ND Filter an essential tool for high-definition photography.
The sensitivity of imaging sensors to IR has posed a challenge in the photography industry, particularly evident when using standard neutral density filters that absorb visible light but pass infrared. Digital camera CCDs or CMOS are inherently susceptible to infrared contamination, even when manufacturers try to mitigate this issue by adding an infrared absorbing filter on top of the image sensor.
The Tiffen Combination 85 IR and 6 ND Filter addresses this issue by providing a solution that doesn't compromise on visible red wavelengths. While minor infrared contamination may not typically affect visible images, the use of conventional neutral density filters, especially denser grades, can multiply this issue. With the Tiffen Combination 85 IR and 6 ND Filter, you can confidently capture stunning, high-quality images without worrying about infrared contamination.
Tiffen Square IRND Filter Features
- An 85 decreases the color temperature from 5500-3400 Kelvin
- To enable slow shutter speeds to be used, especially with high speed films, to record movement in subjects such as waterfalls, clouds, or cars
- To decrease depth of field by allowing wider apertures to be used, which helps separate subjects from their background
- To decrease the effective ISO of high speed film (above ISO 400) and allow it to be used outdoors in bright situations
- To allow cine and video cameras (which have fixed shutter speeds) to film subjects such as snow, sand or other bright scenes which could cause overexposure
- Tiffen filter is manufactured using ColorCore technology, a closely guarded proprietary process that entails permanently laminating the filter material in between 2 pieces of optical glass that are ground flat to tolerances of a ten-thousandth of an inch, then mounting them in precision metal rings
- The ColorCore process allows Tiffen to control the color and density of their filters, and the characteristics of special effects filters with much greater accuracy than typical dyed-in-the-mass filters, which usually exhibit color and density variations
