Tiffen 138mm Blue #47 Color Filter | 13847

There’s a specific kind of photographer?the one who still sees the world through the filter before the shot, not after it in software. That’s who this Tiffen filter is for. You’re after a specific color effect, a certain mood, not something you can fake with a slider. The 138mm Blue #47 Color Filter is a specialized tool for that disciplined, in-camera approach.

• Produces distinct blue-toned effects in black and white photography, dramatically lightening blue skies while darkening warm tones like skin and wood ? a classic look for dramatic landscape or portrait work.
• The #47 density is a strong blue selection, meaning you’ll get heavy contrast for a stylized, graphic feel that post-processing alone cannot perfectly replicate.
• Constructed with Tiffen’s standard optical glass, meaning it’s designed to resist scratches and maintain optical clarity over time ? it’s built for studio and location use.
• Accommodates lenses with a 138mm thread size, a larger diameter frequently found on telephoto and cinema-style optics, offering compatibility where smaller filters won’t fit.

You’ll find this filter is less about general-purpose convenience and more about deliberate creative control. It’s a way to commit to a color shift from start to finish. If you understand the character of a deep blue filter in analog or digital monochrome, you already know you want this one.
