Tiffen 80A 105mm Coarse Thread Color Conversion Filter

Tiffen 80A 105mm Coarse Thread Color Conversion Filter | 105C80A

The late afternoon sun is dropping fast, and you’re shooting tungsten-balanced film outdoors. That warm golden light is beautiful, but it’s turning everything orange. This is exactly the scenario where the Tiffen 80A 105mm filter earns its keep. A thick circular filter that threads directly onto your lens, it’s built to cool down the color temperature of daylight to match tungsten film stock.

• The deep blue glass shifts color temperature by a full 3200K, so daylight registers as neutral white on tungsten-balanced media without introducing a color cast you have to fix later.
• This is a coarse thread filter, which means it mates with specific lens barrels designed for that threading pattern rather than the standard fine-pitch threads ? check your lens compatibility before mounting.
• At 105mm, this is a substantial filter size intended for larger diameter professional lenses, often found on cine or high-end still glass, not your everyday kit zoom.
• It’s a simple optical tool with no electronics or moving parts. You screw it on, it does its job, and you get the color rendition you need in camera rather than relying exclusively on post-production corrections.
