Tiffen 55mm Deluxe Enhancing Kit (Digital Ultra Clear, Enhancing, Circular Polarizing & 812 Color Warming Glass Filters)

The Tiffen 55mm Deluxe Enhancing Kit contains everything you need to get that special image.

Digital Ultra Clear Filter
The Ultra Clear filter is a general purpose, high-quality filter not only for routine protection of your lenses but for minimizing the atmospheric "haze" that permeates many venues.

Enhancing Filter
Improves the color saturation of reds, oranges, and earth-tone colors such as rust, brown and amber. The range of colors improved by the Tiffen Enhancing filter makes it popular for use on autumn foliage and brownish-red scenic compositions, such as those found at the Grand Canyon.

Circular Polarizing Filter
Light rays which are reflected become polarized. Polarizing filters are used to select which light rays enter your camera lens. They can remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water or glass, and also saturate colors providing better contrast.

The effect can be seen through the viewfinder, and changed by rotating the filter. The filter factor varies according to how the filter is rotated and its orientation to the sun.

812 Filter
Improves skin tones. Ideal for portraits taken on a cloudy day or outdoors in shade on a sunny day. When your subject needs just that little extra touch of "pink" in their face, the Tiffen 812 can save the day. This filter makes the difference between a portrait that seems "washed out" and flat, or one that is so much more flattering to your subject.
