Tiffen 72mm 15 Deep Yellow Filter

SKU CH-T8GA-8K45T

Deep yellow filter darkens skies and boosts contrast for black-and-white imaging with a 72mm thread

  • Deepens contrast in black-and-white film with #15 factor
  • Darkens skies dramatically for stronger cloud separation
  • Creates more pronounced effect than lighter yellow filters
  • 72mm thread fits matching lens diameters
  • Designed primarily for monochrome imaging applications

Deep yellow contrast filter

The Tiffen Deep Yellow #15 filter is designed for black-and-white photography. It attaches to lenses with a 72mm thread. The filter renders skies dramatically darker and increases contrast more strongly than a Yellow 8 filter. It is intended primarily for monochrome imaging.

Effect on skies and clouds

The deep yellow tint deepens blue skies and separates clouds from the background. This creates more dramatic tonal separation in landscape, marine and aerial scenes. The filter changes the way black-and-white film or sensors record colour contrast. No additional accessories or software are included in the package.

For black-and-white shooters

Photographers working with black-and-white film or digital monochrome modes will benefit from the increased contrast control. Colour photographers or those needing a lighter yellow effect should look at a different filter density. Users with lenses that do not accept a 72mm thread cannot mount this filter.

Questions about this item

Will the 72mm threads wear out or need replacement after repeated mounting?

The filter uses standard 72mm threads; they do not wear out under normal use, and the glass has no moving parts to replace.

Does the 15 density cause any vignetting when used on wide-angle lenses?

The Deep Yellow #15 is a flat glass filter; vignetting depends on your lens hood and focal length, not on the filter density itself.

Does the glass retain heat or affect exposure during long daylight shoots?

The filter is passive glass; it does not generate heat, and the 15 factor simply requires about four stops of exposure compensation.
