warm sky

I bought this filter for my wife's new Nikkor 28 mm wide angle lens. She used it for some digital images of a snowy outdoor scene last weekend and the images turned out very nicely. The sky seems a 'warmer' shade of blue and the clouds seem 'whiter'...

Screws right in.Gives images a more colorful or warmer effect plus it protects valued lenses.

Protection alone is worth the price.

 

Protection alone is worth the price.

I use a Sky filter on every lens I own. One of my more expensive lens, in its case, fell off the shelf, causing a crack in the filter lens. It was much easier to replace the filter than it would have been to have the glass replaced in the lens.

Darned fine product

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...

Very reasonable price

 

Very reasonable price

For under $10 (not counting shipping), this is a good 'protector' for the lens. Have taken pictures with and without the lens and can't see any difference in the pictures even during the daylight where it's supposed to mitigatae the bluish tinge. So,...

Protects your lens from scratches without altering the image as it's intended to do, at a reasonable price to boot. You should have one of these on every lens you own, just be sure to get the right size. Much cheaper to replace a sky filter than a...

I was lured by the price. It is definitely worth buying at that price. The rest is up to the optical taste of the photographer.

Protects my new Tamron lens, and arrived very quickly, in spite of my selecting the cheapest/slowest shipping method.

If you want a basic filter to provide service & also protect the lens, the skylight filter is ideal choice.

Product Specifications

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 .
