Hoya 77mm C12 Blue Cooling Color Conversion Multi-Coated Glass Filter

An essential tool for photographers and videographers, the 77mm C12 Blue Cooling Color Conversion Multi-Coated Glass Filter is designed to harmonize the white balance of 3200 Degree K tungsten balanced (warm) ambient light sources with Daylight balanced 5500 Degree K films. This C12 filter ingeniously cools the light source by 2200 Degree K (-120 mired shift), infusing a deep blue hue into the overall exposure.

Ideal for scenarios where you're using daylight-balanced film in the presence of warm light sources such as traditional low power light bulbs, candles, or certain halogen bulbs, this filter ensures accurate color representation on the film. It's also a perfect choice when shooting with daylight balanced film and aiming to create a day-for-night look. The added blue cast effectively gives daytime scenes a dark blue night feel, particularly on overcast days.

The Hoya C12 filter incorporates Multi-Coat (HMC) technology, a feature highly recommended for enhancing the performance of today's multicoated lenses. These sought-after filters are designed to minimize reflection, reduce flare and ghosting, and deliver an impressive over 97% average light transmission. With the 77mm C12 Blue Cooling Color Conversion Multi-Coated Glass Filter, you can achieve professional-grade results in any lighting condition.
