FA: 72mm Tiffen Haze filter -- Protect your lens and improve color and clarity
Two reasons to have this Tiffen filter on your lens:
1. To protect the lens surface from scratches, abrasion, etc. 2. To improve the color and tonal rendition of color photographs. In this respect, it acts like a UV filter but is more effective with light reflected from dust particles in the air. Here's what one (non-Tiffen) web site says about the Tiffen Haze filter: Haze filters are designed to reduce haze and are yellowish to counter the excessive blue. For example, Tiffen Haze 1 reduces excess blue and transmits 29% at 400mm wavelength, while Tiffen Haze 2A provides greater ultra-violet correction than Haze 1 and transmits 0% at 400mm wavelength. However, for color photography, polarizers are frequently used. Note that although polarizers many not cut through haze as effectively as Haze filters do, polarizer can increase the contrast of the scene by eliminating reflection! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=7624991632 |
