The Tiffen Series 9 Skylight 1-A Camera Filteris a general use filter with a slight pink tint to help improve overall color accuracy and clarity. The light pink coloration helps to reduce the overall bluish cast of daylight and is especially effective when photographing landscapes and in shade.

The Sky 1A filter is also useful as a general protective filter to leave on lenses at all times. Filters help to reduce dust and moisture from reaching your lens element and provide additional protection in case of drops or situations where scratching could occur.

Tiffen filters are made using ColorCore technology; a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, then mounting to precision metal rings. This filter is compatible with Series 9 filter holders.

Q: 7. Are these a good solution for using with Rokinon cine lens (which don’t have a filter thread to screw anything into)? Trying to work out how I use fixed ND and polarizer filters with the Rokinons without a matte box (when using on a gimbal).

A: It entirely depends on the Rokinon lens you are speaking of. Virtually all the Rokinon cine lenses take filters (on exception would be the 14mm) whereas the Rokinon Xeens cannot and you would most likely use this: NiSi 114mm Shatter-Proof Protector Filter B&H # NIR114EXP Generally on a gimbal, a matte box is not used and only one maybe two screw on filters would be considered for obvious size and weight issues.
