The Tiffen Digital Essentials Filter Kit contains all the basics that an outdoor digital shooter requires. UV Protector These are wise initial investments. They help protect your valuable investment from dust, moisture and scratches, which can lead to costly repairs. Circular Polarizer Light rays which are reflected become polarized. Polarizing filters are used to select which light rays enter your camera lens. They can remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water or glass and also saturate colors providing better contrast. The effect can be seen through the viewfinder and changed by rotating the filter. The filter factor varies according to how the filter is rotated and its orientation to the sun. Neutral
Density filters from Tiffen have several uses and offer the possibility
to achieve otherwise unachievable results. They enable the shooter to
adjust exposure without affecting color balance. ND filters appear gray
and reduce the amount of light reaching the either the sensor of a
digital camera or the film plane of a traditional film camera. Neutral
Density filters are used to create some unusual special effects such as
capturing the "blur" of the rippling water of a waterfall or the
swirling effect of city traffic. Since they allow the use of slower
shutter speeds in bright light, it becomes possible to create these
special effects that would normally not be possible to capture without
the filter. And since they can also help to control your depth of field,
they permit you to shoot at wider apertures. Ultimately, their value is
in helping to prevent bright, overly washed out images shot in bright
light. The entire kit comes with a Tiffen padded storage pouch that will help keep your filters clean and free from dust, dirt, fingerprints and other contaminants,. Tiffen's ColorCore glass is produced through a 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 aluminum rings. UV ProtectorTiffen
filters provide additional benefits of correction for Ultraviolet(UV)
light which can register on film and videotape as a bluish cast and can
obscure distant details If desired they can be left on the lens at all times for protection Circular PolarizerThis
filter eliminates ultraviolet rays to remove haze from outdoor shots as
well as polarizing the light to remove reflections, and increase color
saturation, without affecting the overall color balance Makes a blue sky bluer Enhances clouds Neutral Density Filters Have Four Main UsesTo
enable slow shutter speeds to be used, especially with high speed ISOs,
to record movement in subjects such as waterfalls, clouds, or cars To decrease depth of field by allowing wider apertures to be used, which helps separate subjects from their background To decrease the effective ISO of high speed film (above ISO 400) and allow it to be used outdoors in bright situation To
allow cine and video cameras (which have fixed shutter speeds) to film
subjects such as snow, sand or other bright scenes which could cause
overexposure Tiffen QualityTiffen's
ColorCore glass is sealed between two optical glass sheets. In this
way, Tiffen can better control the various densities of their filters
and thereby create more exact degrees of filtration. This process makes
for greater accuracy of color as opposed to glass that is simply dyed
and become subject to deviation during the dye process | |
Filters, like all crafted optics, are susceptible not only to breakage, but to premature aging caused by environmental factors. Most filters are made up of several layers of materials consisting of glass, dyes, optical cements, chemical compounds, particles etc. Even with protective measures employed, there are many factors that can still affect the longevity of the filter: moisture (prolonged exposure to humidity), excessive heat and excessive light are the most common environmental causes that can affect the filter’s chemistry over time.
To protect your filters and keep them in great working condition for a long time (along with the rest of your camera gear) we recommend making sure to keep the filters stored in a dark, cool, and dry place when not in use. The use of filter pouches or specialized cases will also keep your filters safe from breakage when not in use. If you are in a humid environment, the addition of fresh silica gel packs or a dehumidifier in the room they are stored is also highly recommended. Protecting your filters as you would your camera lenses will ensure many years of use of your filters.
What do you recommend cleaning filters with?
Hand blower first, if it's just light dust, that usually handles it. If you need to clean further, a Kim Wipe sprayed with Tiffen/Pancro Lens Cleaner, work in a circular motion from the middle out.
