Overview

The Tiffen 62FLB is a 62mm fluorescent light balancing filter engineered to correct the unpleasant green color cast that fluorescent lighting introduces when shooting with tungsten-balanced film. Fluorescent tubes emit light with a strong green spike that wreaks havoc on color accuracy, particularly in skin tones. The FLB filter counteracts this by introducing a complementary magenta-warm shift, restoring natural color rendition without requiring a flash to overpower the ambient light.

Built with high-quality optical glass, the 62FLB maintains the sharpness and contrast of your lens while performing its color correction duties. The metal mounting ring is precisely machined for smooth attachment to any lens with a 62mm filter thread. For film photographers working in offices, warehouses, studios, or any space lit by fluorescent tubes, this filter is a straightforward, in-camera solution that avoids the need for extensive color correction in post-processing.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Effectively neutralizes the green cast from fluorescent lighting for more natural color
  • High-quality optical glass maintains image sharpness and clarity across the frame
  • Durable metal mounting ring threads on and off smoothly without cross-threading
  • Slim profile reduces the risk of vignetting on standard and telephoto lenses

👎 Cons

  • Designed primarily for tungsten film, making it less essential for digital shooters who can adjust white balance in-camera
  • Only available in 62mm, so you need step-up or step-down rings for other lens sizes
  • Adds a slight warm magenta tint that may require adjustment if lighting conditions are mixed
  • Single-purpose filter with limited use outside of fluorescent-lit environments
