Tiffen 4×5.65-Inch Red 1 #25 Glass B&W Film Filter

Tiffen 4×5.65-Inch Red 1 #25 Glass B&W Film Filter | 45650R25

A standard yellow or orange filter often just isn’t enough when you need serious contrast in black and white photography. On overcast days or with naturally flat light, the tonal separation between a blue sky and white clouds can be frustratingly minimal. That’s where the Tiffen 4×5.65-Inch Red 1 #25 Glass B&W Film Filter comes into its own, offering a dramatic correction that transforms hazy or monochromatic scenes into stark, high-impact images.

This filter doesn’t just darken a blue sky; it nearly renders it black, making clouds pop with an almost three-dimensional quality. You’ll see foliage take on a deeper, more textured tone, and skin can appear with a distinctly moody, low-key look. It’s a professional tool, built for the 4×5.65-inch filter trays used with many matte boxes on cinema cameras or high-end stills rigs. The solid glass construction means it sits flat and true, critical for maintaining optical integrity through a fast prime lens. It’s a specific effect, but when you need that unmistakable, cinematic monochrome character, this red #25 delivers it without compromise.
