81A

Light balancing filter: yellowish/brown tone (amber). Warms up the look of day, (warms look of later morning to early afternoon), reduces blue cast often found in outdoor open shade and on rainy and snowy days (lowers Kelvin temperature). Also featured in the 81 Series are the 81B, 81C, and 81EF for increasingly greater warming effects. The 81EF creates the greatest decrease in Kelvin temperature in the 81 Series and offers very dramatic warming effects.
Light Loss: 1/3 f:stop

WARM 812

Exclusive Tiffen warming filter that is referred to as the "Greatest All-Around Warming Filter". Warms and enhances skin tones, reduces lighting flashback on cheeks and foreheads, and reduces excess blue in outdoor open shade. Ideal for reducing the bluish cast caused by video lights. The 812 creates a reddish, more natural warming tone than the 81A. Can be left on the lens at all times.

Light balancing filter: light blue tone. Reduces warm tones and cools lighting situations by raising the Kelvin temperature. Does not cool as dramatically as 80 Series filters. Ideal for reducing warm red tones often found in early morning or late afternoon light. Also part of the 82 Series is an 82B .

CORAL

Color conversion filters: salmon color. Used to warm Kelvin temperature for different times of the day. Available in fractional (1/8, ¼, ½) and full densities (1 to 5). The greater the density, the deeper the filter color and the greater the warming effect.
