Tiffen 43mm Deep Yellow 15 Filter

SKU CH-60PV-S5RCF

Deep yellow 15 filter darkens skies and boosts contrast for black-and-white landscapes and marine scenes

  • Deepens contrast in black-and-white landscapes with a 15 filter factor
  • Enhances marine and aerial scenes more dramatically than lighter yellow filters
  • Adds creative tonal control to colour imaging beyond monochrome use
  • 43 mm thread fits compatible lenses without vignetting on most systems
  • Slim 1.6 cm frame reduces risk of corner shading on wide angles

Deep Yellow 15 filter for 43 mm threads

This Tiffen Deep Yellow 15 filter threads onto 43 mm lens fronts to deepen contrast in black and white photography. It strengthens cloud definition and enriches tonal separation in landscapes, marine scenes and aerial work. The filter also serves as a creative tool for colour imaging when a warmer, more dramatic rendering is desired. It is aimed at photographers who want stronger yellow filtration than a Yellow 8 provides.

Light transmission and handling

The glass element adds minimal thickness at 1.6 cm so vignetting is unlikely on most wide-angle lenses. Multi-coated surfaces reduce flare and ghosting while maintaining neutral colour balance outside the yellow passband. The slim aluminium ring keeps the overall profile low and does not extend far beyond the lens barrel. No measurable exposure compensation is required beyond the filter factor inherent to a Deep Yellow 15 density.

43 mm thread diameter

This filter fits only lenses or adapters with a 43 mm front thread; it will not mount on larger or smaller diameters without a step ring. The package includes a single filter in a protective case measuring 8.8 cm by 7.4 cm by 1.6 cm. Photographers needing a different thread size or a lighter yellow density should select an alternative model.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 43mm Deep Yellow 15 filter on my lens, and what is the common mistake?

Screw the 43mm filter onto the front thread of your lens until snug; the step people get wrong is over-tightening, which can bind the thin 1.6 cm frame and make removal difficult.

What maintenance or replacement will the 43mm Deep Yellow 15 filter need over time?

Clean the glass with a microfibre cloth and lens fluid when dust or fingerprints appear; replace the filter only if the coating is scratched or the 43mm threads become damaged.

What limit appears first when using the 43mm Deep Yellow 15 filter for extended black-and-white landscape sessions?

The filter factor of 15 (about four stops) requires longer exposures, so motion blur from wind or camera shake becomes the practical limit before any optical degradation occurs.
