Tiffen 67mm Warm Linear Polarizer Filter

Description

Tiffen Warm Linear Polarizer Overview

The Tiffen 67mm Warm Linear Polarizer Filter can be applied to create a warm cast over an entire image while helping to reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a non-metallic surface. The light from the sun naturally becomes partially polarized due to reflecting off electrons in air molecules, causing the light to scatter into what appears as haze. A polarizing filter arranges, and filters, this directionally polarized light perpendicularly to the reflected light, allowing for the absorption of much of this light. This results in a noticeable reduction of glare and reflections from non-metallic surfaces and an increase in the saturation of skies and foliage.

The warming effect of this filter can be obtained under daylight when this filter is used on a film camera system with daylight film installed, or on a digital camera system with its daylight white balance setting selected. This filter’s overall coloration reflects a mired shift value of +45.

A linear polarizer differs from a circular polarizer in that it does not contain an additional quarter wave plane. The addition of a quarter wave plane is to circularly polarize linearly polarized light for the use of auto focus and exposure functions. Due to how the light is broken down and filtered with a linear polarizer, in-camera auto focus and exposure accuracy become skewed during use. When the light becomes circularly polarized, it permits the use of these functions.

This filter is recommended when not using in-camera exposure metering or autofocus, is non-coated, and has approximately 40% average light transmission. It is constructed from optical glass for clarity as well as color fidelity and features an aluminum-alloy filter ring that can be rotated in order to adjust the intensity of the polarization effect.

Tiffen Warm Linear Polarizer Reviews

Works great, just wish it were stronger!

By Joel Rated 4 out of 5 Date: 2020-03-26

After marking it (so that I could find the right angle on my rangefinder), it worked very well paired with my Fuji GL690. This is just personal preference but I wish it were even stronger! Both as a polarizer and warmer. However, as-is it is very neutral and except for adding some pop, it doesn’t noticeably shift day-light balanced film (that I could tell).

Excellent assistance

No longer do I have to use two filters to get the warming effect. I will use this is taking photos of fall leaves and some afternoon shots of flowers.

Works as described

No surprises here, polarizes the light and has a slightly warm cast. I bought the linear polarizer hoping it had a more pronounced effect than the circular polarizer but it doesn’t seem to be significantly different.

Works great!

Filter is just as advertized– creates desired effect without hefty price tag.

Excellent Filter

By Trek_Guy Rated 5 out of 5 Date: 2011-07-18

Does just what it says. No issues.

Quality Product

By Anonymous Rated 5 out of 5 Date: 2011-05-26

I use this filter on my 18-200mm Nikon lens. It is a high quality product that I would highly recommend. BH sells only high quality filters and photo accessories and I always buy from them with confidence.

Does what it says.

For the price, it is good. I thought that it would be more pronounced in its filtering.

The trial product

I am a black and white photography, using the product for the first time
