Tiffen 7280C 72mm 80C Color Correction Filter

The Tiffen 72mm 80C is a color correction filter designed to shift the color temperature of incoming light toward blue, compensating for the warm orange cast inherent in tungsten and incandescent lighting. As the mildest filter in Tiffen's 80-series lineup, the 80C applies a lighter correction than the 80A or 80B variants, making it well suited for mixed-lighting situations where only a partial adjustment is needed, or for scenes lit by lower-wattage tungsten sources that produce a less intense color shift.

Threaded at 72mm to fit a broad range of camera lenses, the filter screws directly onto the front element for immediate color correction at capture. This is particularly valuable for video work, where consistent color temperature across shots saves significant time in post-production color grading. The filter is manufactured in the United States, continuing Tiffen's long reputation for producing reliable optical filters. While digital white balance controls have reduced the necessity of on-lens color correction filters, the 80C remains a practical tool for photographers and filmmakers who prefer to get color right in-camera.
