The Tiffen 86mm 81D Light Balancing Filterhelps to decrease the color temperature by 500K in order to warm the image slightly in order to match the color quality of illumination. When using an 81D filter, you will be able to attain 3200K balance when the prevailing light source is 3700K. The warming effect of this filter requires a 0.6-stop increase in exposure for normal results.

This filter is 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, and then mounting to precision metal rings.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. I just purchased the Nikon 10-24. Any vignetting issues with wide angle lenses? Is ring thin enough?

A: For a super wide-angle lens like your Nikon 10-24, you'd be better off with the more expensive B+W XS-PRO UV Haze because it's slimmer. Mary B's response is utterly irrelevant because she's referring to a telephoto lens.

Q: 2. What material is this made of?

A: Urth filter caps are made of magnalium, an aluminum-magnesium alloy.

Q: 3. How many stops does this reduce the exposure?

A: 1-2 stops.

Q: 4. will this 58mm zeiss filter also work with 58mm canon lenses?

A: Works perfectly well with 58mm canon lenses, and any 58mm screw-threaded type lense.

Q: 5. Will this fit Tamron SP 150-600mm F5-6.3 Di VC USD G2T?

A: Yes it will, it's what I have on my G2

Q: 6. Is this filter neutral?

A: The ZEISS POL filter is neutral and does not impart a color cast to the image.

A: If the canon lens is 82mm. Filters are universal.

Q: 10. Will this filter work with the Nikon 500mm f/4.0P IF ED manual focus lens? Thank you

A: If any filter would work, the B+W would as they are the best make of filter available. With a brass black mount and optically perfect glass, you should not have any problems.

[0.3 lb] A nice slim filter in new condition. Contrary to what is often supposed by younger photographers, the 81B balancing filter is the best way of dealing with shade or overcast lighting in digital photography, as opposed to changing WB to accommodate those conditions. The human eye does not detect the blue, but it's there all the same. It also works well for backlit subjects that are effectively in shade, improving the tonality: the subject will be lightened & warmed, and to avoid overall overexposure gentle underexposure may be set. Pleasing people-pictures in what amounts to mixed lighting are one effect. The lighting in Interior shots is frequently shade, while any exterior lighting within the frame is sunlight or daylight, so the same remarks apply. If the interior lighting is Fluorescent of course an FL-Day with WB set to Daylight works the same as a warming filter; but this is perhaps not quite the spot for that observation. I use warming nowadays for all my c. 5000K landscape shots, not to cut UV to which the electronic sensor is insensitive, but to cut the haze in distance (which is by no means all visible to my eye-brain combo), define clouds and darken blue sky. That way what I saw is more nearly what I get. The WB should of course be set to Daylight every time, the meter will take care of the quite modest factor. 5

[0.3 lb] I bought the 81b to help cut out the blue in snow scenes and altho just getting started with, am totally satisfied, it's serving purpose well! 5

[0.3 lb] this is a good filter. I've used 81A filters for years. I know lots of people don't like 'em but this helps punch up my images besides warming them a tad. I use these on most of my outside lenses. 5

[0.3 lb] I use the 81B all the time on my DSLRs with the WB set to daylight, for scenics where it cuts haze, for flash, backlit and in-shade people-pictures, and in overcast. The light-loss is small and the effect seldom if ever too warm. Incidentally other colour-correcting/-balancing filters are still useful, keeping the same daylight WB. That setting is right for interiors lit by incandescent or fluorescent, with an 80A or FL-Day over the lens. Those two really come into their own with mixed lighting, e.g. an interior with daylight coming through the windows. B&H's price was reasonable and the shipping prompt and efficient. 5
