Tiffen 81A Light Balancing Filter with 105mm Coarse Thread

Tiffen 81A Light Balancing Filter with 105mm Coarse Thread | 105C81A

Outside in harsh midday sun, your footage takes on an unwanted blue cast?a problem every cinematographer and advanced photographer knows well. The Tiffen 81A filter handles that by warming the color temperature slightly, so skin tones and landscapes look more natural without a full gel setup. It screws onto lenses with a 105mm coarse thread, a size you’ll find on many telephoto and cinema primes where standard step-up rings won’t fit.

• This 81A light balancing filter cuts through the cool blue bias in open shade or overcast light, shifting color temperature down by about 200K for a noticeably warmer image straight out of camera.
• It’s built with Tiffen’s ColorCore glass lamination, meaning the filter dyestuff sits between two pieces of optical glass rather than being coated on the surface?a construction that resists flaking and keeps color consistent across the entire 105mm front.
• The coarse thread pattern is deliberately shallower than standard fine threads, which lets you mount and remove the filter quickly without cross-threading even when you’re wearing gloves or working in a hurry on set.
• You get a single filter that both balances color temperature and protects the front element of your lens?two jobs handled by one piece of glass that won’t introduce unwanted flare when you’re using a matte box.
