A blue cooling color correction filter is designed to adjust the color temperature of the light entering the camera, adding a blue hue to reduce the warm tones in the image. This helps to achieve a more natural-looking white balance, particularly in situations where the ambient light is warmer than desired.
Yes, the 52mm C2 Blue Cooling Color Correction Filter can be used with digital cameras. It's compatible with any camera that accepts a 52mm threaded filter, and it's beneficial for adjusting the white balance directly in-camera when shooting in various lighting conditions.
The multi-coating on the filter minimizes reflections and glare, which can degrade image quality. It also reduces flare and ghosting and enhances light transmission, resulting in clearer, more contrast-rich, and vibrant photographs.
Absolutely, the filter is ideal for outdoor photography, especially during sunrise or sunset when the color temperature of the light can be overly warm. It helps cool down the color temperature, ensuring that the colors in your photographs are balanced and true to life.
The filter may have a slight effect on exposure due to its color-correcting properties, but it is primarily designed to adjust the color balance rather than to reduce light transmission significantly. The multi-coating ensures that over 97% of light is transmitted, minimizing any loss of light.

Make your photography stand out with the 52mm C2 Blue Cooling Color Correction Multi-Coated Glass Filter. This high-quality, durable filter is designed to cool the ambient light entering your lens by 200 degrees Kelvin (-20 mired shift), adding a blue hue to your overall exposure. It's an effective tool for fine-tuning the color or ambiance of your scene to perfectly match your film's white balance.
Ideal for use when you're shooting with tungsten-balanced film and the light source is warmer than the traditional 3200 degrees K, this filter provides the precise amount of color correction needed. It's particularly useful when photographing with candles or low watt incandescent bulbs, which are typical examples of warm light sources.
Moreover, if you're capturing the beauty of sunrise or sunset with daylight-balanced film (5500 degrees K) and the overall scene appears too warm, this blue cooling filter will help neutralize the warmth for a more natural look.
The 52mm C2 Blue Cooling Color Correction Multi-Coated Glass Filter features a multi-coated design, a key feature that helps reduce reflections and glare. This results in improved image quality and contrast, ensuring your photos are as vibrant and true-to-life as possible. The multi-coating also reduces flare and ghosting, and allows for over 97% average light transmission, enhancing the performance of today's multicoated lenses.
Whether you're a professional photographer or a passionate hobbyist, this filter is compatible with a wide range of cameras and lenses, making it a versatile addition to your photography equipment.
