The Tiffen 4x5.65" 82 Light Balancing Filterhelps to increase the color temperature by 100K in order to cool the image slightly in order to match the color quality of illumination. When using an 82 filter, you will be able to attain 3200K balance when the prevailing light source is 3100K. The cooling effect of this filter requires a 0.3-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 and grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. It measures 4 x 5.65" / 101.6 x 143.5mm.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this Tray with both the filters take up only a single slot in the matte box?

A: No, The Tiffen Multi Rota Tray Variable Neutral Density Kit comes with one rotating Circular Polarizer Tray. When combined with one of the included 4x5.65" Circular Polarizer it becomes a Variable ND solution. However, the 4x5.65" Circular Polarizer would take up another space/slot in your Matte Box. A second 4x5.65" Circular Polarizer is included as a backup.

Q: 2. In the spec, it says that the shipping weight is about 9lbs, but other search on the internet says that the item weight is only about 3-4 lbs and it is the shipping weight that is 9lbs. So I just want to make sure, with the flags and everything, will this weigh 9lbs?

A: The matte box weighs between 3 and 4 lbs depending on how it is set up. The 9 pound weight is the box with everything that is included in it.

Q: 3. Im thinking about getting the 4x4 and 77mm screw on in this. Is the Black Frost 1/4 Filter the same as Black Frost 1/4 White Water Glass Filter? What's the White water bit?

A: It is same diffusion. However, Water White is the best, clearest no-color-glass Tiffen makes.

Q: 4. How many stops does this go up to?

A: The Tiffen Multi Rota Tray Variable Neutral Density Kit goes from 2 to 8 stops.

Q: 5. Hello, Is this an HD Classic Soft or just an original Classic Soft..?

A: The Schneider 4x4" Classic Soft 1 Filter is the original Classic. We have the Schneider 4 x 4" HD Classic Soft 1 Filter, BH #SCCS1H44.

Q: 6. Does this fit my canon rf 28-70 lens?

A: No, the Canon E-82 II Lens Cap would not fit the Canon RF 28-70mm f/2 L USM Lens. This lens has a 95mm front diameter. Please review the link below to find the correct front cap for this lens: https://bhpho.to/2Q9McSR

Q: 7. Can this VND setup be used next to another Rota Tray with just a CP, so I can have both VND and CP? Will this work?

A: The Tiffen Multi Rota Tray Variable Neutral Density Kit with Extra 4x5.65" Circular Polarizer has a rotating ROUND CP that is permanently in the tray, and could be used alone for CP. When combined with one of the included Tiffen 4 x 5.65" Circular Polarizer Filters, which would take up another space in your Matte Box, it becomes a variable ND solution. Tiffen also includes a spare 4x5.65" Circular Polarizer as a backup.

Q: 8. Is it really 9.5 lbs? I am a little worried about the weight.

A: It is a heavy matte box, it is about a 1.5kg (3.3lbs) without the flags and hard mattes, and 15mm rod adapter. In my case I have a F55 and an Alexa so it is not over kill. The box it came in was about 12lbs. Great build.

Q: 9. what range of stops of light does it cut?

A: The Tiffen Multi Rota Tray Variable Neutral Density Kit with Extra 4x5.65" Circular Polarizer offers 2-6 stops.

Q: 10. What's the widest focal length lens I can use with this matte box (on both FF and S35 sensor, using both stages of filters)? Will it work with a 10mm lens on S35 and/or a 14mm on FF?

A: The answer is...it depends. You notice focal lengths are not listed for matte boxes like this. That is because it depends on the sensor, the camera, the lens and the matte box what will precisely work. That being said, we would say that this matte box should have no problem with an 18mm on Super35 and 24mm on full frame. Depending on all above conditions, wider than those lengths may be possible. However, we would tend to think that the real answer for 10mm on Super35 and/or 14mm on full frame would either be a single filter clip-on matte box or a two filter 6.6 x 6.6 matte box.

[0.5 lb] Like the odd 1-iron a golfer might bring, a 47a is not the everyday go-to of filters. That said, it emulates ortho film amazingly well, and for certain types of architectural photography, dramatically lightens, if not whitens skies while deeply defining most everything else. For instance, ironwork like the Eiffel Tower, a Ferris wheel, or an old, complicated bridge would become a nearly abstract study in lines with a filter like this. Or, if one wanted images evoking a late 19th Century feel, the ortho rendition would be prefect, especially with a soft focus, Lomographic, or pinhole lens. Shades of Matthew Brady! As for the Tiffen brand, there’s really none better. Never in 40 years of film photography have I heard of quality issues, except for a one-off problem once 20 years ago. They work and cost less, yet made in the USA! While the deep-pocketed Leica or Linhof user may sniff at them, this Mamiya RB photographeur, merely exclaims, “Tsk!”, or even, “Tchah!”, and continues merrily. Buy with great confidence! 5

[0.5 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 for this large size and the shipping prompt and efficient. 5

[0.5 lb] The use of an 81A warming filter was recommended to me by a pro photographer and this lens by Tiffen did not disappoint. It really enhanced the contrast between a blue sky and the images. With good lighting, the addition of this lens made some of the images appear as though it was 3-D. The lens was clear and crisp. This was a great addition. 5

[82] Really nice dark tone ; cuts the green and red really well and amplifies blue tones on b&w film. Perfect filter for RGB processing (with the green #58 and the red #25). The rigid plastic case that comes with it is also pretty useful. 5
