I had initially bought this for infra-red photography, but I use this filter all the time for regular black & white photography with excellent results. It really enhances your image if it contains blue sky and/or clouds. Another plus: it comes in a nice, sturdy carrying case, which is very handy.

This filter is primarily for b/w photography, although you could use it for color with a rather obvious and unusual effect.

The lens works by filtering some of the blue from your photo. This means that for cloudy sky, and some vegetation and architecture shots you will see greater contrast. There are more or less intense red filters available depending on the degree of effect you want.

Great quality, great price! As a professional photographer (Kismet Photos) I always demand the best results. This filter produces when it comes to dramatic black and white photography. Thanks so much!

Although I've long used Tiffen filters, I had to return this one I bought from Amazon as it was delivered to me in a defective condition; the lens was discolored all around the mounting ring, possibly even separated.

I actually was not buying it for a camera, but for my son's science fair project where he used it as a red filter to help him identify the existence of red in color blindness testing. It is a strong filter for this, but works great.

It is a basic filter that works pretty well with my DSLR. Different than film, however. Good quality.

I am very pleased with the filter that i ordered. it arrived in great condition and several days before I thought it would

I bought Tiffen Filter from Adorama. No scratch on surface but looks like somebody touched and wiped looking. It was sealed. So I don't know it is an used filter or NEW but I wasn't expected like that as new product.

Amazon's product description is misleading. While this may be a great filter for B&W film photography, I would not recommend it for color pictures or for digital photography. Effects on B&W digital pictures are not as dramatic as the manufacturer claims. No mention is made that the filter may not produce the same effects on digital pics, so perhaps it doesn't work as well as claimed for film, either. And it does not produce good results with color pictures at all, unless your intent is for the colors in your picture to show up as many different shades of red. Might be a good product, but be careful what you intend to use it for.
