Tiffen 5285B 52mm 85B Filter

Product Information

The first conversion filter was a #83 (medium orange). Following the development of stable emulsions, Kodak discontinued the #83 and introduced the 85-B, which was color balanced at 3,400k. Kodak’s next film venture was the manufacture of Type A films, which were color balanced at 3,400k. When converting 3,400K-rated films to daylight, a straight #85 has a Color Short of 200 degrees. The 85-C filter converts 3,800K to daylight in the afternoon; this is equal to 1/2 of an 85 filter. In the original 85 type A nomenclature, it was changed to 85-A. It is the same filter for each one. Patron: "Yeah, what's with that foreshortening stuff? I paid for everything in this room and I want it all to look BIG!!!"

First, let me say, that now as in the past, science had been unable to manufacture a variable "RECEIVER', be it film, tape, television, pixels, etc. All color receivers manufactured to capture visual images are each color balanced for "ONE" Kelvin temperature. The one for which it was designed. According to most ‘before’ and ‘after’ filter shots used for comparison testing, the majority of lens filters have no negative impact on image quality. Some critics argue that if you put a layer of glass in front of your lens, it will make your vision blurry. Lens Filters: To Use Or Not To Use? The most controversial reason for using a filter is to enhance the scene to match the creative vision of the photographer. “Purists” find such a usage unacceptable. What are some ways that a photographer can use a filter to adjust the scene to his/her vision? A tungsten conversion 85B filter converts the light in a way that tungsten film, like CinbeStill 800T, can be used outdoors. 85B being "Full Tungsten Conversion (FTC)" is perfect for this time of the year where sunlight is often reduced outside. The exposure prolonging factor is 2X. The most commonly used 81 series filter is the 81B; it’s a good one to have if you want only one in this series. The 81 series is an essential filter for landscape photographers.

CC filters come in a variety of densities in the three primary colors (red, blue, green), and the three secondary colors (yellow, cyan, and magenta). CC filters are identified by color and density. A CC40M filter has a density of .40, which is medium, and a magenta color.

Even though film emulsions were all over the lot, in those early days the industry needed to convert tungsten films to daylight. The first conversion filter was a #83. (A medium orange color). There’s nothing like experimenting with various filters. They don’t always have to be used for their intended purpose. Refer to the sunset images displayed above. Our eyes and brains can compensate for different kinds of lighting conditions, for example an object viewed outside under the sun vs one viewed under a lightbulb. Whereas our cameras often can't make this differentiation, so our colour films need to be balanced to compensate for different types of lighting and to render colours as they would appear in the original scene. This is where filters come into play as they can help our cameras to adjust to different lighting conditions and balance out colours in the scene. Many photographers don’t consider the use of protective filters to be an alteration since protective filters don’t change the scene in a significant way.When correction is performed in the lab, it's the same as painting the entire scene with a paint brush. The original image is overlaid with an optical color coating. The results are acceptable but stagnant. The color coating does not mix with the light of a scene. The 81 series of filters reduces the excessive blue when you’re photographing in the shade and adds “warmth” to a scene when you’re shooting in normal light. Like many filters, they’re made in a variety of strengths. The 81A has the weakest effect. As you proceed through the alphabet, the effect becomes stronger. A purple lens filter is often used to help reduce glare and reflections in photographs. It can also be used for color correction in photos, as well as to help bring out certain colors in a photo.
