LEE Filters 100 x 100mm Polyester 80B Light Balancing Filter

The 100 x 100mm Polyester 80B Light Balancing Filter from Lee Filters is designed for use with a LEE Filters Gelsnap Filter Holder. It is uniform in color and with a mired shift value of -112, can be applied to purposely create a cool cast over an entire image. This effect can be obtained under daylight when this filter is used on a film camera system with daylight film installed, or on a digital camera system with its daylight white balance setting selected. The Lee Filters 100 x 100mm Polyester 80B Light Balancing Filter is also useful for balancing light sources with a color temperature of 3400K for daylight film, which is designed to accurately reproduce colors under 5500K light sources.

This filter is constructed from polyester. When used, the Lee Filters 100 x 100mm Polyester 80B Light Balancing Filter's 0.5 density darkens the entire image by 1.6 stops. This reduction in exposure can be compensated for by adjusting the aperture setting of the lens it is placed on, or the shutter speed of the camera being used.

The light balancing filters for daylight film are designed to correct for color temperatures under 5500K, and are considered to be progressively stronger in their effect when used to cool a daylight image.

This 100 x 100mm Polyester 80B Light Balancing Filter can be adapted to a LEE Filters 100mm System filter holder by using a separately available LEE Filters filter frame for 100 x 100mm polyester filters.
