Tiffen 58mm Digital Enhancing Filter Kit

Product Description

Comprising a useful and versatile set of filters for general shooting applications, the 37mm Digital Enhancing Filter Kit from Tiffen bundles four 37mm filters and a protective filter pouch. The included filters are the Digital Ultra Clear, which serves a simple clear filter to protect the lens; a Circular Polarizer, which helps to improve contrast and saturation while reducing reflections; an 812 Warming filter, which increases overall warmth and improves skin tones; and an Enhancing filter that boosts saturation of reddish and earth tones.

From the Manufacturer

The Tiffen 58mm Digital Enhancing lens filter kit combines four essential digital imaging lens filters to cover just about all shooting situations most photographers will encounter, from portraits to foliage to shooting through glass or glaring sunlight.

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, praticularly over water. The ultraviolet protector provides basic reduction of UV light.

The Tiffen digital enhancing filter makes red, rust browns, and oranges "pop," with minial effect on other colors. Perfect for fall foliage, earthtone rock formations, architecture, woodwork, faded rustic barns, and any photos where red, brown, and orange subjects should be enriched or appear more intense.

The circular polarizer has the same effect as a polarizer and is used on cameras with beam splitting metering systems commonly found on auto focus SLRs. Use the Tiffen polarizer with the enhancing filter for more dramatic effects.

The 812 warming filter, a Tiffen exclusive, improves skin tones and is ideal for portraits taken on a cloudy day or outdoor, in shade on a sunny day.

The difference between the polarizer filter and the others is that the polarizer is a "rotating" filter. This means the filter is a 2 stage filter where the outside (or top) portion of the filter rotates independently of the bottom portion that screws into the lens. This is so the amount of filtration can be adjusted once it is on the lens. If trying to screw in or take the filter off grasping the outer part of the filter it will rotate independently and not attach or come off. It is how all polarizers work.
