Tiffen 82mm 80A Tungsten to Daylight Conversion Glass Filter

Take your photography and videography to the next level with the precision-engineered 82mm 80A Tungsten to Daylight Conversion Glass Filter. This high-quality filter is an essential tool for professionals and enthusiasts alike, designed to seamlessly convert the warm hue of tungsten lighting (3200K) to the crisp, clear tones of daylight (5500K). The durable glass construction ensures that this filter will reliably perform shoot after shoot.

Crafted for effectiveness, the filter boasts a filter factor of 2.4, necessitating an additional 1 1/3 f-stops of light to maintain proper exposure. This adjustment is critical for capturing the true-to-life colors you desire when using daylight-balanced film in environments lit by standard household incandescent lamps.

Understanding that every light source imparts its own color cast on film, this versatile filter is a must-have for correcting and balancing these variations. Whether you're dealing with natural or artificial light, the 80A filter is adept at providing the necessary 'cooling' effect to ensure your images and footage exhibit accurate color rendition.

For cameras with internal metering systems, adjustments for the filter factor are made automatically, simplifying your workflow. However, when using external or handheld meters, it's important to account for the light absorption of the filter to achieve the desired exposure.

While modern strobes approximate daylight at 5500K and can dominate over household lighting, the 80A filter remains a reliable choice for achieving specific creative effects or for shooting in mixed lighting conditions. Additionally, this filter is part of a broader series, including the 80B for tungsten photofloods and the 80C for clear flash bulbs, offering a comprehensive solution for all your color correction needs.

Other filters in the color-correcting lineup include the 85 series for converting tungsten film for daylight use, the 81 series for a warming effect, and the 82 series for a cooling effect, providing a full spectrum of options to enhance your visual storytelling.

Whether you're a filmmaker or a photographer, the 82mm 80A Tungsten to Daylight Conversion Glass Filter is a reliable and effective tool for ensuring your images represent the scene as you envision it, with accurate, balanced colors that stand out in any portfolio.
