The Tiffen 4x5.65" Plum Solid Color Filteradds a warm, pale purple coloration across the entire image and helps to subdue overly yellowish casts. The solid color design makes this filter well-suited to pairing with other filters for further control over the appearance of imagery. The 3 color density provides more plum coloration than the 2 density filter.

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.

Q: 8. Will this lay flat with out an edge strip?

A: Tina,For vertical mounting, the Vinyl backgrounds work best when combined with the Westcott X-drop background stand. If instead, you are free hanging it, You can expect some curling of the background right after unrolling it which may require clamping, or an edge strip added to the bottom if you do not plan to use an X-drop frame.

Q: 9. 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.

Q: 10. Do these have any significant color cast? What about sharpness?
