Tiffen 4.5-Inch Round 2-Straw Solid Color Optical Filter

Tiffen 4.5-Inch Round 2-Straw Solid Color Optical Filter | 412ST2

There’s a look that says “warmth” without shouting. The kind of shot where golden hues feel natural, almost inevitable. That calls for a filter that’s both deliberate and subtle. The Tiffen 4.5-inch round 2-straw solid color optical filter sits on your matte box ready to deliver exactly that. It’s not flashy ? it’s essential.

• Solid color saturation ? two full stops of straw tone, uniform across the 4.5-inch round glass, so you get consistent tint edge to edge
• Optical glass construction ? ground and polished to avoid degrading your lens’s sharpness or introducing unwanted flare
• Compatible with standard 4.5-inch filter holders ? you’ll be swapping it in and out quickly on set without rigging hassles
• Useful for warming exteriors or matching practical light sources ? think golden hour extension, sunset corrections, or blending daylight fixtures with tungsten ambiance

This filter suits cinematographers and still photographers who work with controlled light setups, especially those shooting narrative or commercial work where color temperature balance is part of the storytelling. If you’re matching late-afternoon warmth across multiple lenses or need a repeatable color shift that doesn’t rely on a monitor LUT, this 2-straw round filter is your practical, optical-level solution.
