The Tiffen 72mm 82A Light Balancing Filterhelps to increase the color temperature by 200K in order to cool the image slightly in order to match the color quality of illumination. When using an 82A filter, you will be able to attain 3200K balance when the prevailing light source is 3000K. 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, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and then mounting to precision metal rings.

Q: 1. I just bought a 60 mm Fujifilm macro lens and it has a bayonette mount at the front. Are there any protective filters that fit it (39 mm)?

A: I don't have this particular lens, but from looking at the spec sheet it appears that a regular 39 mm lens filter would work. I have used various sized filters for various Fuji lenses without problem. If you find that it doesn't work, b and h has great return policy, which I have used several times. Hope this helps.

Q: 2. Does anyone know the thickness of this filter in millimeters?

A: Fully threaded onto the 23mm lens on the x100f, the filter extends approx. 4.8 mm (measured with a scale).

Q: 3. Quiet operation? I am using the Hoya but you can hear it sliding when you adjust it. For video I need something that will adjust silently.

A: This filter would offer quiet operation.

Q: 4. Will I be able to attach the Vello EW-78D Dedicated Lens Hood to my camera while one of these filters is on?

A: Yes you will. The Vello EW-78D lens hood is a bayonet type mount which connects on the outer perimeter of the lens. These filters will not affect the fit of the hood nor will the hood affect the fit of the filters.

Q: 5. Some weeks I bought a Fujifilm X-T20 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 16-50mm, and I was trying to find information if this filter would work with my camera?.I'll be waiting for your reply.

A: Yes this 58mm protector filter will fit. If you look at the inside of your XC16-50mm lens cap it shows 58 . Same thing shows on the lens looking at the front face 58

Q: 6. Will this work on a Nikon 200mm F2? The filter is installed near the rear element.

A: This filter is designed to thread onto the end of a lens which has 52mm filter threads. It is not a drop in filter.

Q: 7. Does the lens hit the filter in macro mode?

A: I using it with lens hood (lens hood comes with adaptor), so it does not.Without adaptor - it possible that it can hit.

Q: 8. Does this filter fit to x100v too? And does it need another adapter ring with x100v?

A: yes, this 49mm thread filter will fit on the X100v and you do need to attach the adapter to the lens first. Without the adapter the filter will cause a lens error.

Q: 9. Can these filters be stacked on b+W uv filters. Planning on using them for 58,72, and 77mm lenses I have with the uvs On.

A: I only stack this with an adapter to accommodate the smaller lenses. When I was looking at this filter, I chose the one for my largest lens and then bought adapters to use it on the smaller lens. This is the last filter I use in a stack and have used it stacked on my uv filter in 77mm.

Q: 10. Can I use this filter, without an adaptor, for X100v?

A: its recommended NOT to attach the filter directly onto the lens. using the adapter will give the lens enough space to move when you turn it on . Without the adapter you , possibly, will get a ' lens error' with possible damage to the lens.
