Tiffen 82C Light Balancing Filter 4 x 5.65 Inch

Tiffen 82C Light Balancing Filter 4 x 5.65 Inch | 4565082C

You’re shooting with tungsten-balanced film under warm, golden-hour sunlight. Or maybe you’re matching daylight stock to the cooler, bluer cast of open shade or overcast skies. That’s exactly where the Tiffen 82C Light Balancing Filter in the 4 x 5.65 inch size earns its keep. It’s a subtle but effective tool. It shifts color temperature to the cooler end of the spectrum, letting you correct for overly warm light sources without introducing a sickly or artificial tint. This isn’t a heavy-handed effect filter. It’s a precision tool for cinematographers and still photographers who know exactly what their footage needs to look neutral, or who want a controlled cool look without reaching for a gel.

The 4 x 5.65 inch size slots right into standard matte boxes used with cine and mirrorless rigs. Tiffen’s optical glass holds up to repeated use in the field. You’ll see cleaner skin tones and truer whites when your light source?old tungsten fixtures, par cans, or low sun?leans too warm for your stock or sensor. It’s also a fine pairing with daylight-balanced sources when you want to introduce a purposeful, low-cast cool mood. The 82C density is one of the more common correction values in the Tiffen lineup. It’s reliable. It’s specific. And it solves a very real problem that conventional in-camera white balance alone can’t quite replicate with the same optical quality.
