The Tiffen Ten-Year Warranty

Tiffen precision-made filters are so superior, we back them with a 10-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Unlike ordinary batch-dyed glass filters in which color can be uneven, our unique lamination process allows complete control over color and density for maximum consistency. Tiffen has been honored with two Technical Achievement Awards, and a Scientific and Engineering Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for its lamination process and innova- tive product design. Tiffen has also been awarded an Emmy, from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, for its Engineering Excellence.

The Professional’s Choice

Superior quality and design make Tiffen the over- whelming choice of moviemakers, professional photog- raphers and even NASA. Our filters are used in almost every major movie and TV production around the world. The craftsmanship these professionals demand is part of every Tiffen filter, whether for video, digital imaging, scientific work, film or still photography. Shouldn’t Tiffen be your filter?

Helpful Icons

Also available in thin filter rings designed

to help avoid vignetting on wide angle lenses.

Shows the recommended increase of exposure compensation (f-stops) for certain filters (for manual camera setting).

Special effects filters originally designed for the TV and Movie industry, now available to all photographers and videographers.

Some filters are available in various densities (grades). As the density increases, the filter effect becomes stronger. For those filters that combine a warming effect technology with any of several other effects in one filter, the warming effect remains the same.

Please check the filter sizer on page 47 to select the correct filter size for your camera.
