Tiffen 80C 138mm Color Conversion Filter

Tiffen 80C 138mm Color Conversion Filter | 13880C

That unsettling blue color cast ruining your shot? The one that makes your carefully lit indoor scene look like it was taken underwater. It’s a problem every cinematographer and serious photographer knows all too well. But fix it without fixing the entire image? You adjust white balance on your display and something else goes wrong?you get muddy tones or a weird magenta shift you cannot dial out. That’s exactly where a dedicated tool makes all the difference. This 80C filter doesn’t guess; it converts tungsten-balanced sources to work with daylight film or sensors. It’s simple physics done right.

Used at the camera’s front element (yes, that full 138mm of glass sits inside a precision-machined ring that threads right on), the filter subtracts just the orange the human eye no longer notices. Shadows stay deep. Skin tones hold their warmth. Highlights keep their smooth roll-off instead of clipping early. And because this is Tiffen, you get industry-standard ColorCore laminated construction?a process that keeps the dyed gelatin between two layers of optical glass for lasting clarity without the color shifting over time. So if you’re lighting with tungsten fixtures or balancing an outdoor scene through a window, this is your honest path to clean, gradable footage.
