- The Tiffen 85N 3 is a professional-grade combination filter that provides both color correction (85) and neutral density (0.3) in a single piece of glass.
- Ideal for cinematographers shooting on tungsten-balanced film stock or sensors in bright daylight conditions where a 1-stop exposure reduction is needed to maintain a specific aperture.
- Renting this combined filter reduces the number of glass surfaces in front of the lens, significantly minimizing internal reflections and maintaining maximum image sharpness compared to stacking separate 85 and ND filters.
Questions about this gear
What does the Tiffen 85N 3 filter do?
It converts daylight-balanced light to tungsten (3400K) while simultaneously reducing light by 1 stop (ND 0.3) to help control exposure.
Is the Tiffen 85N 3 compatible with my matte box?
Yes, it fits any standard 4x5.65-inch (Panavision size) matte box tray, including professional models from Arri, Tilta, and Bright Tangerine.
Why use an 85N3 instead of two separate filters?
Using a single combination filter reduces the risk of 'ghosting' and flare caused by light bouncing between multiple layers of glass.
