Tiffen 81C Light Balancing Filter 4 x 5 Inch

Tiffen 81C Light Balancing Filter 4 x 5 Inch | 4581C

You’re working with a medium format or large format camera, and the color balance from a few hours ago just doesn’t match what you’re seeing now. That’s where this filter earns its keep. The Tiffen 81C light balancing filter, sized at 4 x 5 inches, is a practical tool for photographers who need to warm up their daylight-balanced film or sensor when shooting in open shade, overcast skies, or at high altitudes.

• Warming effect ? the 81C series adds a subtle amber cast, cutting through excessive blue tones in shadowed scenes or when mixing light sources
• Standard 4 x 5 inch size ? slots into common holder systems without adapting, ideal for view cameras and field cameras
• Optical glass construction ? Tiffen’s manufacturing process keeps distortion minimal, with coatings to reduce flare in uncontrolled light

This filter is built for photographers who still choose glass over digital post-processing. It’s ideal when you’re shooting warm-toned portraits under a gray sky, documenting architecture in early morning light, or matching skin tones on a shoot that starts in shade and moves to sun. No guesswork, no on-screen correction: what you meter is what you get.
