Overview

The Tiffen 62WIDSKY 62mm Wide Angle Sky 1-A Filter is purpose-built for photographers who shoot with wide-angle lenses and need reliable lens protection without sacrificing image quality. Its ultra-thin mount design addresses the most common frustration with standard-thickness filters on wide-angle setups: vignetting at the corners of the frame. By minimizing the ring profile, Tiffen ensures edge-to-edge clarity even at the widest focal lengths your 62mm-threaded lens can achieve.

Beyond protection, this filter pulls double duty as a subtle color corrector. The Sky 1-A designation means it absorbs ultraviolet light — reducing the hazy blue cast that plagues high-altitude and waterside photography — while adding a gentle pink warmth to the image. The result is more natural skin tones and richer colors in open shade and overcast conditions, without the heavy-handed effect of a dedicated warming filter. Constructed with Tiffen's ColorCore technology, the filter material is laminated between precision-ground optical glass, delivering consistent color rendition that won't fade or shift over time.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Ultra-thin mount prevents vignetting on wide-angle lenses where standard filters often fail
  • Subtle pink warming tint improves skin tones and reduces the bluish cast common in shade and overcast conditions
  • Doubles as full-time lens protection against dust, moisture, and scratches
  • ColorCore laminated glass construction ensures even color distribution across the frame

👎 Cons

  • The warming tint is fixed and cannot be adjusted, which may be unwanted in scenes that already skew warm
  • Only available in 62mm thread size, so you need step-up rings for other lens sizes
  • Does not include a protective case or pouch for storage
  • Slight color cast may require white balance correction when shooting under artificial lighting
