Tiffen 49mm 85B Filter 4985B

Tiffen 49mm 85B Daylight Conversion Filter

This Tiffen 49mm 85B filter converts daylight to tungsten light for photographers using tungsten-balanced film outdoors. The glass construction corrects the bluish cast that occurs when shooting tungsten film in daylight. It threads onto lenses with a 49mm filter ring and is built for durability in varying shooting conditions. The 85B designation indicates its specific colour-temperature conversion strength.

For film shooters needing accurate colour balance

Photographers working with tungsten film in daylight or mixed lighting will benefit from the precise colour correction this filter provides. It also serves as a creative warming tool when used with daylight film in daylight. Digital photographers relying on auto white balance or shooting exclusively in RAW with software correction have no need for this physical filter. Videographers using modern cameras with electronic white-balance controls should also look elsewhere.

Consistent colour shift under sustained use

The glass substrate maintains its transmission characteristics during long shooting sessions without the colour drift sometimes seen in resin filters. Its hardened surface resists scratches that could introduce flare during extended outdoor work. The filter mounts securely and stays aligned on the lens thread throughout a day of handling. Performance remains stable across the temperature ranges encountered in typical daylight photography.
