Tiffen 4.5-Inch Circular 85 Linear Polarizing Filter (Mounted) | 412SR85POL
This Tiffen circular polarizer and 85 warming filter combination is one unit you screw directly onto your lens. No stacking, no extra weight ? just cleaner, more accurate color from a single mounted filter.
- Two-stage filtration in one housing. The 85 color-conversion element warms your overall image while the linear polarizer cuts reflections and haze, making it ideal for outdoor cinematography or stills where tungsten-balance film is used in daylight.
- Mounts on lenses sized for 4.5-inch or step-up rings (common on many cinema primes and larger-diameter telephotos). The mounted design means you thread it on and go ? no gel frame, no matte box required.
- Rotate to adjust polarization intensity. A small tab or knurled ring lets you dial out glare from water, glass, or foliage without losing the warming effect of the 85 layer.
- Linear polarizer construction ensures maximum contrast and color saturation, especially valuable for filmmakers using older or non-rotating-magnet camera bodies where a circular polarizer isn’t strictly needed.
- Tiffen’s ColorCore manufacturing (industry-standard optical lamination) keeps the filter optically flat and scratch-resistant through regular on-location use.
If you’re shooting with 85-balance film under daylight or need to rein in reflections while warming up the entire scene, this 4.5-inch Tiffen does both jobs at once. It’s a practical, purpose-built tool for the cinematographer who wants one fewer filter to swap.
