Tiffen 4x5.65" Combination IR 85 and 1.2 Neutral Density Filter

Become a master of outdoor photography with the Tiffen 4x5.65" Combination IR 85 and 1.2 Neutral Density Filter. This high-quality, durable filter is designed to tackle the challenges of using tungsten film in daylight, which can often result in a bluish cast in your photographs.

The 85 series of filters, known for their effectiveness, work to color balance the tones in your images, correcting differences in color temperature between the recording medium and the light source. This is particularly important in digital photography, where color shift can significantly impact the quality of your images.

This versatile filter also addresses the issue of infrared contamination, a common challenge in high-definition photography. The sensitivity of imaging sensors to IR can be problematic, especially when using standard neutral density filters that absorb visible light but pass infrared.

The Tiffen 4x5.65" Combination IR 85 and 1.2 Neutral Density Filter, however, is designed to combat this issue. Unlike many photographic films, the CCD or CMOS of a digital camera is inherently susceptible to infrared contamination. This reliable filter helps to reduce this problem, even when the manufacturer attempts to reduce this problem by adding an infrared absorbing filter on top of the image sensor.

The filter does not have a sharp cutoff at the infrared wavelengths, resulting in a compromise in order not to exclude visible red wavelengths. This allows some infrared wavelengths to pass, minimizing the issue of infrared contamination, especially when using conventional neutral density filters of denser grades.

In summary, the Tiffen 4x5.65" Combination IR 85 and 1.2 Neutral Density Filter is a reliable tool for photographers seeking to improve their outdoor photography, offering a solution to the challenges of color shift and infrared contamination.
