Tiffen 3 Deluxe Video Starter Kit (55 mm)
 
The Tiffen 55 mm 3 Deluxe Video Starter Kit makes work easier and more convenient for students or professionals in the video industry. The kit includes three basic but necessary filters for video.
The UV Protection Filter is designed to prevent moisture and dirt from reaching the front element of your lens. This filter also eliminates UV haze when shooting at higher altitudes and it is recommended to leave this filter on permanently.
The 0.6 neutral density filter is an important filter to have as it reduces the amount of light entering the lens by two stops. The ND filter also allows the video camera to film with wider apertures without overexposing the scene; in addition to achieving a shallower depth of field in the shot.
Unlike digital cameras, film cannot white balance under fluorescent lights, but the FL-D filter provides this solution. By not correcting the film for this type of lighting, it will capture the green cast that fluorescent lighting produces. Using the filter will allow true-to-life colour rendering and pleasing skin tones on people.
Tiffen filters are created using the ColorCore process, which permanently laminates the filter material between two pieces of optical glass. The optical glass is ground and polished flat; therefore, the filter material between the glass is never affected. The finished product is finally mounted in an aluminium ring.
 
55 mm UV Protection Filter
 
The Tiffen 55 mm UV Protection Filter is a general-purpose clear filter that helps absorb ultraviolet light and reduce the bluish cast of daylight. This filter is particularly useful when shooting at high altitude or near bodies of water. No additional colouration or contrast is provided, allowing you to pair this filter with others.
The UV filter is also useful as a general protection filter to leave on lenses permanently. Filters help reduce dust and moisture reaching your lens element and provide additional protection in case of drops or situations where scratches might occur.
Tiffen filters are manufactured using ColorCore technology; a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass, grinding it flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, then mounting it on precision metal rings.
- Absorbs some ultraviolet light and reduces the bluish cast of daylight.
- The clear filter provides no additional colouration or contrast, allowing you to pair this filter with others.
- The general protection filter reduces the accumulation of dust, moisture and scratches on lens elements.

0.6 Neutral Density Filter - 55 mm
 
The Tiffen 55 mm 0.6 Neutral Density Filter is a uniform ND filter with a 4x filter factor that provides a 2-stop exposure reduction. Its 0.6 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than normally required. By slowing down your exposure time or increasing your aperture, you can more easily control depth of field and convey motion. Neutral density filters do not affect the colouration of the image and are ideal for pairing with other filters.

FL-D 55 mm Fluorescent Glass Filter for Daylight Film
 
A Tiffen 55 mm FL-D filter is used when you want to correct the greenish cast that appears when shooting with daylight film under general-use fluorescent lighting.  
NOTE: The FL filter series alone does not always guarantee 100% correct colour balance when shooting under fluorescent lighting. These are general-purpose filters intended for moderate correction and will not necessarily provide perfect colour rendering by themselves.
An FL-W filter is used to balance daylight film under warm white or white fluorescent lamps. An FL-B filter is used to correct colour balance when shooting with tungsten film under fluorescent lighting.
Fluorescent lamps operate at many different temperatures and often require more demanding filtration for accurate results. For specific filtration and professional use, it is strongly recommended to use a colour temperature thermometer along with colour correction filters (e.g. CC30M) when shooting under fluorescent lighting. This is the only proven method to achieve accurate colour correction.
- Pleasing skin tones under fluorescent lighting without flash
- True-to-life colour rendering
- Essential in any environment where the ambient light source is fluorescent
