Frequently Asked Questions
What effect does the Tobacco 3 density produce compared to lighter densities?
The "3" designation is the strongest in the Tobacco series, delivering the most pronounced brownish-yellow warming effect. It creates a deeply saturated vintage tone rather than a subtle hint of warmth.
What camera systems is the 6.6x6.6" size designed for?
The 6.6x6.6" format is designed for professional matte boxes commonly used on cinema cameras and high-end video rigs. It is not a screw-on filter for standard lens threads.
How is the filter constructed?
It uses Tiffen's ColorCore technology, where the color layer is laminated between two pieces of optical glass to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, ensuring even color distribution and durability.
Does this filter reduce the amount of light entering the lens?
Yes. Solid color filters absorb some light, so you should expect a modest reduction in exposure. The Tobacco 3 being a dense filter will require a more noticeable exposure compensation than lighter densities.
Can this filter be stacked with other 6.6x6.6" filters in a matte box?
Yes. Most professional matte boxes have multiple filter stages, so the Tobacco 3 can be combined with ND, polarizer, or other color filters as needed.
