Medium Red Filter for Black-and-White Photography

The Tiffen 25 Red Filter is a 62mm screw-on glass filter built for photographers shooting black-and-white film or digital. It darkens blue skies to create strong contrast with clouds and separates foliage from flowers for clearer tonal definition. The filter factor is 8, requiring a three-stop exposure increase to compensate. Infrared film users gain extreme sky contrast and white foliage rendering.

Behaviour Under Sustained Use

Optical performance remains consistent across long shooting sessions because the ColorCore laminate is sealed between two pieces of optical glass. The solid glass construction resists heat buildup from continuous sunlight exposure without shifting density or hue. No moving parts or electronics are present, so reliability does not degrade with time. The metal mounting ring maintains precise thread alignment after repeated attachment and removal.

Thermals, Noise and Power Draw

The accessory is completely passive, drawing no power and producing no audible noise during operation. Glass and metal components dissipate ambient heat naturally without requiring active cooling. Surface temperature tracks the surrounding environment, so handling comfort is unaffected by extended use. There are no fans, motors or electronic circuits to generate heat or sound.

Questions about this item

Does the #25 Red Filter generate any heat or noise during extended shooting sessions?

No, the filter is passive optical glass with no electronics, so it produces no heat or noise regardless of how long it is used.

What lens thread size must my camera already have for this 62mm filter to attach?

Your lens needs a 62mm front filter thread; the filter screws directly onto that thread without an adapter.

Will the #25 Red Filter work on an older manual-focus lens that has a 62mm thread?

Yes, any lens with a 62mm filter thread — including vintage manual-focus models — will accept the filter and deliver the same contrast effect.
