Tiffen 81A Light Balancing Filter – 4 x 5.65 Inch Size | 4565081A
Cool down your footage without guessing. The Tiffen 81A in the 4 x 5.565 inch size is the workhorse filter for reducing the color temperature of daylight-balanced film or sensors. It adds a subtle amber shift that gently corrects the bluish cast you often see in open shade or on overcast days. In a matte box, this rectangular slice of precision glass sits right in front of your lens and gets the job done.
- Warming effect ? pulls color temperature from roughly 5500K down to about 5000K, smoothing out cool light
- Standard matte box sizing ? the 4×5.65 inch dimensions fit common filter holders and studio rigs
- Negligible exposure change ? requires only about a 1/3 stop adjustment, so your settings stay close to normal
- Optical glass construction ? designed to minimize flare and keep sharpness where it belongs
If you shoot interiors with window light, shoot portraits on overcast days, or just want a consistent warmth across scenes, this filter is a direct fix. Minimal fuss, maximum color control ? exactly what a seasoned shooter expects from a Tiffen filter.
