Overview

The Tiffen 77WID812 is a 77mm warming filter built around Tiffen's proprietary 812 color-warming formula, which delivers a more pronounced warmth than a standard Sky 1-A filter while remaining subtle enough for general-purpose photography. It absorbs the blue cast that commonly appears when shooting under electronic flash, in open shade, or on overcast days, replacing it with warmer tones that are especially flattering for portraits and scenic landscapes. The result is richer skin tones and more inviting natural colors straight out of the camera, reducing the need for post-processing color correction.

What sets the 77WID812 apart from standard 812 filters is its slim ring profile, purpose-built for wide-angle lenses. Standard-thickness filter rings can intrude into the field of view on wide-angle focal lengths, causing dark corners or vignetting in images. Tiffen's slim design eliminates this problem, making the filter a practical everyday accessory for wide-angle shooters. Constructed with Tiffen's optical glass and ColorCore technology, the filter maintains sharpness and contrast across the frame while providing consistent warming across different lighting conditions.

  • Effectively neutralizes blue color casts from electronic flash and open shade

  • Subtle enough for permanent lens mounting without over-warming images

👎 Cons

  • Slim profile offers limited threading for stacking additional filters on top
  • Glass filter adds slight weight and another surface that can collect dust or produce flare

Frequently Asked Questions

The Tiffen 812 is a proprietary blend that combines the subtle warming of an 81A with a slight color-enhancing boost. It provides warmer results than a Sky 1-A filter while remaining natural-looking enough for everyday use.
No. The 77WID812 uses a special slim ring design specifically engineered to prevent vignetting when used with wide-angle lenses, which is a common issue with standard-thickness filter rings.
The 812 filter has minimal light absorption. It does not function as a neutral density filter, so you will not need to significantly adjust your exposure settings when using it.
While stacking is possible, the slim design that prevents vignetting on wide-angle lenses means there is less threading available for additional filters. Stacking on wide-angle lenses may introduce vignetting.
This filter fits lenses with a 77mm front filter thread diameter. Confirm your lens's filter thread size before purchasing.
