Tiffen filters are not dyed, but are manufactured by using ColorCore technology. This process laminates the filter material between two pieces of optical glass and grinds down and polishes the glass. The glass is then mounted to the metal ring, which after that can be screwed onto the lens for the desired effect.

Up your Ansel Adams vibe

Works great with blue skies and fluffy white clouds, turns sky is much darker on negative. Also works great with variations in tree coloration, turns a sea of blah gray into blobs of various shades. Eliminates haze in landscape photos.

Not the best but . . .

I bought a set of inexpensive filters for an old Pentax K1000 that I enjoy using from time to time. The 49 mm will not fit any other camera lens I use and there was no point in spending more for Schott glass filters for this old camera. Yes, I could have just bought a step-up ring, but I prefer to just leave these 49 mm filters in the same bag as the camera. They work well enough that I cannot see any difference anyway.

Would this work for my canon EF-M 15-45 mm lens?
