The Tiffen 2x2" CC40M Magenta Filteris a color compensating (or color correction) filter for use when making color balance adjustments. It can be used to alter the color balance of a scene by placing in front of a light source or the lens of your camera. It can also be used to apply color corrections when used in the darkroom with an enlarger or to help pre-visualize color adjustments when viewing prints.

Magenta is the opposite of green and can be used to reduce green tones or casts within a scene or print. This magenta CC40 is more dense than a CC30 filter and less dense than a CC50 filter, and requires a 0.6 stop compensation for normal exposure results.

Tiffen filters are 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. This filter measures 2 x 2" / 50.8 x 50.8mm.

Q: 1. Is there any light loss?

A: From testing in the store, we saw no visible change in exposure, likely indicating a 1x filter factor and almost complete light transmission (minus any potential loss from coatings and glimmerglass particulates).

Q: 2. Do you know what the equivalent strength of the 1 on this filter is? I was just on set where we used 1/8 in 4 x 5.65 and I liked the strength

A: The Tiffen Glimmerglass 1/8 Filter is not made in a screw on type. That is a very low density. The 77mm circular ones come in 1, 3 and 5. So those will have a stronger effect compared to the 1/8.

Q: 3. Hola, puedo aadir este filtro al ND variable de tiffen 77mm? tiene rosca para usar los dos juntos?

A: You can add the 77mm Pearlescent filter first, then stack the 77VND filter on top. You may experience vignetting depending upon your focal length and if you are shooting a full frame or cropped sensor camera.

Q: 4. how does the glimmerglass compare to the cinebloom?

Q: 7. Is this a glass screw on filter, if not do you have one in 1/4 power?

A: 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.

Q: 8. What size is this in terms of lens diameter?

A: This filter is 4.5 inches

Q: 9. Can this filter be used with a circular polarizer? In particular on my Canon 7DmkII with a Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L lens.

A: As the Tiffen 82mm Enhancing Filter has 82mm front filter threads, yes, you may attach an 82mm circular polarizer filter onto the front of the Tiffen 82mm Enhancing Filter to use the two items simultaneously.

Q: 10. Hi, does the 82mm Glimmer glass filters have front threads? I'd like to use a mattebox on top of the filter.
