58mm 85B Colour Correction Filter

The Tiffen 58mm 85B filter enables natural colour reproduction when shooting tungsten-balanced film or video under daylight conditions. It corrects the bluish cast that occurs when tungsten-rated media is exposed to sunlight or other daylight sources. The 58mm thread fits lenses with the same filter diameter. Colour Core Technology embeds the tint within the glass rather than on the surface.

Replaces Daylight Compensation Workarounds

Without this filter, cinematographers must rely on camera white-balance shifts, gel sheets or post-production correction to neutralise the cool cast of tungsten stock outdoors. The 85B density provides the standard conversion for typical daylight, making the jump worthwhile when consistent in-camera colour fidelity is preferred over digital fixes. It also removes the need to carry separate correction gels for daylight shoots.

Suits Tungsten Film and Video Shooters

This filter serves photographers and videographers who capture on tungsten-balanced emulsions or sensors in outdoor daylight. It is not intended for shooters using native daylight-balanced stock or sensors, nor for those requiring stronger or weaker conversion grades such as the 85 or 85C series. Buyers needing a different thread diameter or a neutral density combination should look at other models.
