Tiffen 77mm T1 Infrared Filter for Camera

While specifically designed for use with cameras such as the Panavision Genesis and Sony F35 (CCD) as well as Sony EX1/ EX3 (3 CMOS Chip), the Tiffen 77mm T1 Infrared Filter is a versatile tool that can enhance the quality of your photography. CCD and CMOS sensors, made from Silicon, are naturally sensitive to infrared energy, and this high-quality filter is engineered to address the IR contamination often associated with these sensors.

IR contamination can distort colors, turning greens into a reddish muddy brown and giving blacks a magenta hue. By using the Tiffen T1 Infrared Filter, you can effectively eliminate these issues, capturing true-to-life colors in your images.

This innovative filter is manufactured using Tiffen's proprietary ColorCore technology, a process that encapsulates each effect between two pieces of glass. This not only ensures perfect parallelism but also allows for worry-free handling, making it a durable addition to your photography equipment.

Unlike other filters, the T1 IR filter does not contain a dichroic coating, ensuring it will not vignette green, magenta, or cyan at wide angles. This feature makes it an ideal choice for landscape and architectural photography where wide-angle shots are common.

For those seeking to control light intensity, this filter can be stacked with Neutral Densities up to 0.9. However, for optimal results when heavier densities are required, Tiffen recommends using their Full Spectrum IRND's.

In summary, the Tiffen 77mm T1 Infrared Filter is a high-quality, durable, and effective tool for any photographer looking to enhance their infrared imaging capabilities.
