- The Tiffen 85 is a professional color conversion filter that allows photographers and cinematographers to use tungsten-balanced film stocks in daylight conditions without a heavy blue cast.
- Ideal for film enthusiasts shooting Kodak Vision3 500T or 250T in bright outdoor environments to achieve natural skin tones and accurate color reproduction.
- Renting a Tiffen 85 is superior to using cheap resin filters because Tiffen's ColorCore process laminates the filter material between two pieces of optical glass, ensuring better sharpness and color uniformity.
Questions about this gear
What is the Tiffen 85 filter used for?
It is used to balance daylight (5500K) for tungsten-balanced film (3400K). It prevents the image from appearing too blue when shooting film outdoors.
How many stops of light do I lose with a Tiffen 85?
The Tiffen 85 has a filter factor of 2, which means you lose exactly 1 stop of light and must adjust your aperture or ISO accordingly.
Can I use the Tiffen 85 on a digital camera?
Yes. While digital cameras have white balance settings, using an 85 filter can help preserve dynamic range in the red channel and provide a more organic 'warm' look than digital post-processing.
