Tiffen 77CC30M 77mm CC30 Magenta Color Correction Filter

The Tiffen 77mm CC30 Magenta is a color correction filter designed to counteract the green bias introduced by fluorescent lighting, dense foliage canopy, overcast ambient conditions, and mixed-source environments. At a CC30 density, it delivers a moderate-strength correction — strong enough to neutralize a heavy green cast, calibrated carefully enough that it doesn't tip a neutral scene into an obvious magenta grade. Tiffen's ColorCore construction sandwiches the optical dye between two layers of glass rather than applying a surface coating, which ensures the color rendering is consistent across the full image circle and resistant to the uneven degradation that surface-dyed filters develop over time.

This filter earns its place in the bag of photographers shooting in environments where white balance alone can't solve the problem — underwater videographers fighting the green wavelength absorption of shallow tropical water, portrait shooters in fluorescent-lit event halls, and landscape photographers who want to warm a flat pre-sunrise scene before committing to a heavy Lightroom grade. The 77mm thread size makes it directly compatible with a wide range of professional zooms and primes, and Tiffen's stacking support means a CC30 Magenta can pair with a CC10 to reach stronger correction densities as needed. It works best as a deliberate, intentional tool in a controlled shoot rather than a fix-all attached permanently to a lens.
