Tiffen 6.6 x 6.6" Combination Light Balancing 81EF/ND 1.2 Glass Filter

It's the 6.6 x 6.6" Combination Light Balancing 81EF/ND 1.2 Glass Filter, a versatile tool that combines two popular filter effects in one for enhanced photographic results. This unique combination includes a Neutral Density (ND) filter and an 81 series Wratten filter, designed to optimize your photography in varying light conditions.

The 81 series Wratten filter is particularly beneficial when using daylight corrected film in cool light conditions. As the series progresses, both density and warmth increase, providing a range of effects to suit your creative needs. The 81EF variant of this series is designed to decrease the color temperature from 3900 to 3200 degrees Kelvin, creating warmer tones and brighter colors. This is particularly effective on overcast days or when shooting with an electronic flash. It's also excellent for improving flesh tones, adding a natural warmth to your portraits.

On the other hand, the Neutral Density filter is designed to reduce the amount of light passing through the camera lens without altering the color of the scene. This is particularly useful in bright light conditions, helping to prevent overexposure and maintain the integrity of your images. The ND filter also allows for proper exposure at a wider lens opening, reducing depth-of-field. This enables you to highlight a key subject by making the foreground and/or background out of focus. The Tiffen ND filter is also capable of balancing exposure, eliminating overly bright, washed-out images, and allowing slower shutter speeds to produce blurred motion effects.

In summary, the 6.6 x 6.6" Combination Light Balancing 81EF/ND 1.2 Glass Filter is a comprehensive tool for photographers looking to enhance their images in a variety of lighting conditions. It's a testament to Tiffen's commitment to providing high-quality, versatile photography accessories.
