Tiffen 82CGSUN 82mm Graduated Sunrise Filter

The Tiffen 82CGSUN is an 82mm screw-in graduated filter designed to add a warm yellow-orange color shift to the upper portion of your frame, creating or enhancing the appearance of sunrise and golden-hour lighting in landscape photography. The graduated design means the color effect transitions smoothly from full intensity at the top to clear at the bottom, allowing the lower portion of your image — typically the foreground — to remain unaffected. This makes it particularly effective for skies, horizons, and any composition where you want to introduce directional warmth without altering the entire image.

At the heart of the filter is Tiffen's ColorCore technology, a manufacturing process that laminates the color material between two layers of optical glass rather than applying it as a surface coating. This results in superior color consistency across the filter surface, better resistance to scratching and wear, and a more even gradient transition. The filter is housed in a black anodized aluminum ring that threads directly onto any 82mm lens, and it can be stacked with other threaded filters for combined effects. Made in the USA, the Tiffen Graduated Sunrise filter is backed by a 10-year warranty, making it a durable addition to a landscape photographer's filter kit for adding creative warmth to outdoor scenes.
