Tiffen CC20R 4.5-Inch Circular Red Color Filter | 412CC20R

Red color compensation filters like this one solve a very specific problem: they correct color shifts picked up by digital sensors under certain lighting conditions. The Tiffen CC20R 4.5-Inch Circular Red Color Filter is purpose-built for that task.

• A true CC20R red filter designed to reduce cyan and blue casts, particularly when shooting scenes with strong fluorescent or other artificial light sources.
• The 4.5-inch circular form factor means it fits specialized lens setups, such as those on medium format or cinema rigs?no fumbling with step rings if it matches your threads.
• Tiffen’s ColorCore construction, where the filter is laminated between two pieces of optical glass, ensures consistent color density across the entire surface.
• This isn’t a creative effect filter?it’s for color correction. You’ll use it to bring skin tones back to neutral or to balance a tungsten-lit interior against daylight windows.
• Antireflective coatings help reduce glare and ghosting, keeping the flaring down even when working with harsh key lights or practicals.

If you’re already dialing in custom white balance but still seeing a color cast on the edges of your frame, this circular red color filter is the piece that closes the gap. It’s a tool, not a gimmick?and for the right setup, it’s indispensable.
