Tiffen 6.6 x 6.6" 80B Color Conversion Filter

Where professional photography and videography meet precision and quality, you'll find the 6.6 x 6.6" 80B Color Conversion Filter. This high-quality, durable filter is a product of Tiffen, a brand synonymous with superior photography equipment. It's designed to efficiently convert the color temperature of your images, offering a versatile solution for both natural and artificial light sources.

The 80B filter is expertly engineered to increase the color temperature of light from 3400K to 5500K, making it an ideal choice for correcting the use of daylight film with household incandescent lamps. With a filter factor of 2, it requires 1 f-stop of additional light, ensuring reliable performance in a variety of lighting conditions.

This filter plays a crucial role in color rendition on film, accommodating the unique characteristics of all light sources. Whether you're working with daylight rated at 5500K degrees or photofloods rated at 3400K degrees on the Kelvin color temperature scale, this filter has you covered.

The 80B filter is part of the Tiffen 80 series, designed to 'warm', 'cool', and correct for the many variations of lighting you might encounter in your photography or videography journey. It's worth noting that cameras with internal metering will automatically adjust the exposure, while those with external or handheld meters will need to account for the filter factor.

In the world of modern strobes, which are approximately 5500K, this filter can help 'overpower' household lighting. With daylight film, no filtration is necessary unless special effects are desired. The 80 series filters come in several strengths and are available in most sizes, making them a versatile addition to any photographer's toolkit.

In addition to the 80B filter, the 80 series includes the 80A for use with household incandescent lamps (3200K) and the 80C for use with clear flash bulbs (3800K). Other useful color correcting filters in the series include the 85 series for tungsten film in daylight, the 81 series for a warming effect, and the 82 series for a cooling effect. The FL-D (daylight) is ideal when using daylight film in fluorescent lighting, while the FL-B (bulbs) is perfect when using tungsten film in fluorescent lighting.

In conclusion, the 6.6 x 6.6" 80B Color Conversion Filter is a reliable, efficient, and versatile tool that can help you achieve the perfect color balance in your images, regardless of the lighting conditions.
