55mm 80B Filter for Daylight Film

This 55mm Tiffen 80B filter balances daylight film for use with photo flood lamps. It corrects colour temperature differences between the recording medium and the light source. Photographers shooting daylight-balanced film under tungsten lighting will achieve accurate colours.

Check Thread Size Before Ordering

Verify that your lens or filter holder accepts a 55mm thread diameter. The filter only fits mounts with that exact thread pitch. No adapter or step-up ring is included in the package.

Optical Glass in Metal Ring

The filter uses optical glass mounted in a metal retaining ring. The ring threads directly onto the lens front without adding noticeable vignetting. Its slim profile allows a lens cap to fit over the filter in most cases. The construction resists warping under normal handling.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the Tiffen 55mm 80B Filter and is anything else needed to mount it?

The box contains the 55mm 80B filter. No extra parts are required if your lens has a 55mm front thread; otherwise you need a step-up or step-down ring to match the filter size.

How do I know whether the 80B is the right version for my film and lighting setup?

Choose the 80B when you are shooting daylight-balanced film under photo-flood lamps; it shifts the colour temperature so the film records accurate colours.

What effect does the 80B filter have on the image when it is fitted to a camera?

It corrects the colour balance by cooling the warm light from photo-flood lamps so that daylight film reproduces neutral tones instead of an orange cast.
