Tiffen 6.6 x 6.6" 81A Light Balancing Filter

Are you looking to enhance the warmth and balance the color temperature of your photographs The 6.6 x 6.6" 81A Light Balancing Filter is a high-quality, durable solution designed to address the challenges of excess blue tones in your images. This effective filter is ideal for photographers shooting under the bright sky, by the sea, or in high-altitude environments where the light can introduce an unwanted coolness to your images.

Crafted with precision, this versatile 81A filter is the mildest in Tiffen's esteemed 81 series, offering a subtle warming effect that enriches the color balance without overpowering the scene. It's particularly reliable for softening the blue cast in shadows and highlights, making it a perfect companion for portrait, nature, and landscape photography.

The filter boasts a filter factor of 1.4, which means it absorbs a minimal amount of light, requiring only an additional 1/2 f-stop of exposure. This ensures that your images retain their clarity and detail while achieving the desired warmth. Whether you're working with natural or artificial light sources, this filter helps correct color rendition on film, delivering a more natural and appealing result.

For photographers using cameras with internal metering, the exposure will adjust automatically to account for the filter factor. However, those utilizing external or handheld meters should compensate for the light absorption accordingly. It's important to note that modern strobes or flash units typically approximate midday sun, and any warming or cooling filtration should be based on this 'daylight' standard.

The Tiffen 6.6 x 6.6" 81A Light Balancing Filter is part of a broader range of color-correcting options, including the 81B with a slightly stronger effect, the 81C with double the warming effect of the 81B, and the 81EF for an extremely strong warming impact. For photographers seeking opposite effects, the 82 series provides a cooling effect, while the 80 and 85 series are tailored for specific film and lighting combinations, such as daylight film in tungsten lighting and vice versa. Additionally, the FL-D and FL-B filters correct for the color variations when shooting with daylight or tungsten film in fluorescent lighting conditions.

Choose the Tiffen 6.6 x 6.6" 81A Light Balancing Filter to achieve the perfect balance of warmth and natural color in your photography, ensuring every shot is as vibrant and true-to-life as possible.
