Hoya 55mm C2 Blue Cooling Color Correction Multi-Coated Glass Filter

Because capturing the perfect shot requires precision and control, the 55mm C2 Blue Cooling Color Correction Multi-Coated Glass Filter is an essential tool for photographers. This high-quality filter is designed to cool the ambient light entering a 55mm lens by 200 degrees Kelvin, resulting in a -20 mired shift. By adding a blue hue to the overall exposure, it effectively fine-tunes the color balance of your scene to match your film's white balance.

This multi-coated filter is particularly beneficial when you're using tungsten-balanced film and the light source is warmer than the traditional 3200 degrees Kelvin. It provides the necessary color correction to match your film type, making it ideal for shooting in environments with warm light sources such as candles and low watt incandescent bulbs.

Moreover, if you're shooting at sunrise or sunset with daylight-balanced film (5500 degrees Kelvin) and the overall scene appears too warm, this blue cooling filter will help cool the scene for a more natural look.

The filter features HOYA Multi-Coat (HMC) technology, which is recommended for enhancing the performance of today's multicoated lenses. This effective coating minimizes reflection, reduces flare and ghosting, and results in over 97% average light transmission. This ensures that your images are not only accurate in color but also clear and sharp, enhancing your overall photography experience.
