Product Description

Product Description

Safeguard your lens and absorb UV light. Film and video are more sensitive to UV light than our eyes are. This often shows up as a bluish cast in images, especially shots from high altitudes and long distances, particularly over water. The pink cast of the filter gives a slight warming effect for more pleasing images. Tiffen filters are manufactured using ColorCore technology, a closely guarded proprietary process that entails permanently laminating the filter material in between two pieces of optical glass that are ground flat to tolerances of a ten-thousandth of an inch, then mounting them in precision metal rings. The ColorCore process allows us to control the color and density of Tiffen filters, and the characteristics of special effects filters with much greater accuracy than typical dyed-in-the-mass filters, which usually exhibit color and density .

5.0 out of 5 stars Sky 1-A Filter, March 7, 2001

By A Customer

I love this filter. I do a lot of shots from pretty high up to cover larger bodies of water and buildings. It absorbs most of the UV light and makes my pictures warmer looking.

Tiffen makes some of the best filters. This one is no exception. It fits perfectly for the size indicated and produces crystal clear photos enhanced by what the filter says it will do. Excellent color comes through on all your pictures with this filter. I am VERY happy with this purchase!

I've been happy with every Tiffen filter I've ever bought. This one is no exception. I will continue to purchase them in the future. I wonder how they would do if they tried making lenses too. It's also great to find a quality photographic product made in the USA.
