The Tiffen 2x2" 81 Light Balancing Filterhelps to decrease the color temperature by 100K in order to warm the image slightly in order to match the color quality of illumination. When using an 81 filter, you will be able to attain 3200K balance when the prevailing light source is 3300K. The warming 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 2 x 2" / 50.8 x 50.8mm.

Q: 1. How does a UV 17 Filter differ from a UV 15 Filter?

Q: 2. What kind of metal is the frame made out of?

A: Tiffen uses aluminum filter rings for their filters.

Q: 3. When screwing this filter onto a lens or other filters, it doesn't tighten, it just spins and spins. It unscrews fine, but it just won't tighten. Is this normal or is there a defect with the filter I received?

A: It's hard to determine your issue without additional information. Can you please email us at techsupport@a href= http://tiffen.com? target= _blank tiffen.com?/a Please provide a copy of your B&H receipt, a short video clip taken with a smartphone in which you demonstrate the issue and your name, shipping address and phone #. We would be happy to assist you with your issue as our filters come with a 10 year warranty.

Q: 4. 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: 5. How many stops of light does it take?

A: The following system offers 10-stops of light loss.

Q: 6. Can this filter be used in conjunction with a variable ND filter?

A: Yes, you would have to mount the 82mm Black Satin filter to your camera lens first, then mount the Tiffen 82VND:a href= http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/821128-REG/Tiffen_82VND_82mm_Variable_Neutral_Density.html target= _blank http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/821128-REG/Tiffen_82VND_82mm_Variable_Neutral_Density.html/a

[81] 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

[81] 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 and the shipping prompt and efficient. 5
