The Tiffen 80 series of filters are blue. They are used to
balance daylight film under artificial, tungsten or standard (household)
incandescent lighting.
Let's say you're at a family gathering
and you've brought your camera and want to take some photos of this
once-a-year gathering. You have traditional daylight balanced film but
find yourself in a room filled with table lamps. If left unfiltered,
your photos will turn out yellowish. Under certain circumstances,
perhaps a nice effect but not flattering in terms of skin tones or what
our eyes are used to seeing or expecting. Enter the 80A filter!...
This
filter allows you to "balance", i.e. bring back, correct color tone to
your images. There is some loss of film speed that may require the use
of a tripod but, at least, your photos will demonstrate the proper
tonality they so richly deserve.
Tiffen makes the 80 series of
filters in many sizes to accommodate the many uses this filter has. This
filter can be used by the pro and amateur alike, weekend photo warrior
or pro cinematographer and must be considered an essential addition to
any photo arsenal.
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.
