Tiffen 81EF Light Balancing Filter with 105mm Coarse Thread

Tiffen 81EF Light Balancing Filter with 105mm Coarse Thread | 105C81EF

The Tiffen 81EF Light Balancing Filter is a big, solid ring of optically ground glass that flips the color temperature of your scene with a noticeably warm shift. When you thread this 105mm coarse-threaded filter onto a similarly large lens, you can feel its heft ? it’s built to handle demanding work without fussing.

• 81EF warming effect ? slightly more aggressive than the standard 81A or 81B, this filter counteracts excess blue in open shade or overcast skies, giving skin tones a natural, healthy look without going orange.
• Coarse 105mm threads ? designed for hefty telephoto or cinema lenses where standard fine threads can cross or bind; the aggressive pitch makes mounting quick and secure in the field.
• Solid aluminum ring ? constructed to take the torque of tightening onto large-diameter barrels without deforming, and it keeps the glass properly aligned.
• Glass construction ? no thin resin coatings here; the optics provide consistent color correction across the whole frame.

You’ll want this filter if you shoot a lot of outdoor portraiture, video interviews in mixed shade, or landscapes where the light reads cold. It’s also a straightforward pick for anyone running a 105mm polarizer or matte box system and needing a dedicated warming layer that doesn’t wobble during rotation.
