Tiffen 3 Plum Solid Color Round Filter 4.5 Inch | 412PL3
The purple tint of a plum filter can subtly neutralize warm tones or add a cool counterbalance under mixed light. Photographers working with fluorescent sources or shooting in deep shade often find this kind of correction filter solves the color shift before it hits the sensor. The Tiffen 3 Plum Solid Color Round Filter 4.5 Inch is a straightforward tool for adjusting white balance on set, without relying on post-production to fix the final image.
- Solid color density. Filter number 3 corresponds to a mild plum tint that compensates for greenish or yellow cast lighting, giving your image a more neutral baseline.
- 4.5-inch round format. Fits standard filter holders, matte boxes, or can be handheld for front-of-lens use with medium-format and cinema lenses.
- Optical glass construction. Tiffen uses optical-quality glass that maintains sharpness and contrast without introducing unnecessary flare or distortion.
- Color-consistent batch. Each filter is manufactured to produce the same density and hue from unit to unit, so you can swap or stack without surprise shifts in your image.
- No post-production delay. Getting the color right in-camera with a solid filter saves time in the digital workflow ? what you see is what the sensor records.
Whether you’re building a correction kit or need a specific density for a recurring lighting condition, this filter offers a predictable, repeatable result. It?s a practical addition for any shooter who prefers solving color problems optically rather than in software.
