The Tiffen 82mm 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.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can I still get lens flares?

A: There is no filter that eliminates flares. In fact, sometimes a filter increases the chance of flares. It depends on the lens and the light that is in and out of frame. Therefore to answer your question, it depends. What you need to do is to put it on and off the lens while checking for flares. As a motion picture camera assistant I had to check for flare on the lens, with or without filter, during the set up of the entire move (if there was one) of every shot. Wish I had a buck for each time I had to do that. I could buy two Leicas, with a nice set of lenses.

Q: 2. This filter will fit my 67 mm lens but i also want to use this same filter for my 52 mm and 58 mm lens. Can i use step up rings from any brand?

A: Yes. Any brand will work and no need to buy expensive one.

Q: 3. I just received the Tiffen 77mm Variable Neutral Density filter and it rattles when I shake it. The glass on the interior (camera) side is loose and it rotates inside the ring. This is my first variable ND filter so I am wondering if a loose rear element is normal for this filter or is mine defective?

Q: 9. I intend to use this on the Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM Lens. Has anyone seen vignetting at the extremes?

A: This would depend on if you are shooting a full frame or cropped sensor camera body. On a full frame sensor, vignetting is likely at the wider focal lengths of your lens. On a cropped sensor camera, this is less likely due to the magnification factor.

Q: 10. Will the Tiffen 58mm ND Filter fit onto my Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM LensCanon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM Lens, or my Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM LensCanon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM Lens? Will it fit onto my Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens? If not what mm size Tiffen Variable ND Filter should I purpose? Thank you

A: This filter will fit any lens with a 58mm filter thread. Look at your lens, usually near the end of the lens the filter size is marked next to a O with a slash through it. This indicates diameter. Otherwise, you can look up the specs of your lens filter diameter on your manufacturers website, or through the B&H website.
