I don't use the 812 a lot but I find it comes in handy in the above situations.
#Tiffen or vivitar lens filters which better pro
A pro lab would probably correct out a lot of the filters' effects. I have a lot of my general purpose pictures processed at mini labs and the effects of the filter are more noticeable. I'm not sure that you would want to use the 812 with a film with a lot of color saturation.Ģ. I shoot a lot of Fuji NPH which has very neutral color and contrast. It may be that the 812 works for me in these situations for two reasons:ġ.
#Tiffen or vivitar lens filters which better skin
I also find that it warms up flash pictures of babies whose skin color is already white enough and then exagerated by the flash. A good example is outdoor fill flash situations in open shade. I find that I use it a lot with a Tokina 28mm which seems to be a much "cooler" lens than my Hexanons.Īnother use I find for the 812 is flash photography - especially those situations where the flash gives you that blue color tint in the pictures. I find the Tiffen 812 to be warmer than the 81A. I still would like a filter to use in the snow, and on some shots the color was wrong with the 812 which indicates that it may not be as effective on blue light as I thought.(correct me if I am wrong, but I think I need a yellowish filter to work with blue light? - this filter is pinkish)Īnyway, its not as expensive as Tiffens warming filter, but will do nicely for many applications - especially combined with a polarizing filter. Put on my lens WITH a polarizing filter made for some wonderful results. I also took pictures of fall foliage and was very pleasantly surprised with its results. The 812 filter warm things up VERY nicely and I found it great when I was in higher altitudes. When looking at the filters, the 812 appears to have much more "color". The 812 is much much warmer than the 81B. I own both an 81B and 812, and it appears that Is the 81A filter really equiv to the Tiffen 812? It is cheaper than getting individual screw-on filters. If you are interesed in a lot of creative effects, get the Cokin filter system. Also the 57mm f1.4 is supposed to be very sharp too (I have one of those). I have also heard the 40mm f1.8 is a very sharp lens (I am looking to buy one myself). The Polarizer filters are wonderful and I use them whenever I can. I have one, but found that in low light, using a 81A filter can produce very warm pictures, and people turn out "tanned". to the tiffen 812) to warm scenes up a bit. It all depends on what you want to achieve with your camera. Well, the list you have there is better than what I have, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't get more.

I wish (and still may) replace my 50mm with the 40mm lens as my 'normal' lens.Īny comments or suggestions would be wonderful!! THANK YOU 8, Vivitar Orange(02), Tiffen UV, and a Tiffen 812 color warming filter.Īs for lenses, I have (all Hexanon) a 50mm f/1.8 and a 70 - 150mm f/4 zoom. I have a Tiffen circular polarizer, Vivitar Yellow No. I have inherited some filters from a family member and was wondering if the list here is good enough, or would you recommend any others such as the Enhancing filter by Tiffen or their Color Compensation filter (I thought the CC30M would be the most universal).

I have Konica FT-1 and will be using both color and B & W. : LUSENET : Konica 35mm SLRs : One Thread
