The Tiffen 3 x 3" CC50Y Yellow Filter is a color compensating (or color correction) filter for use when making color balance adjustments. It can be used to alter the color balance of a scene by placing in front of a light source or the lens of your camera. It can also be used to apply color corrections when used in the darkroom with an enlarger or to help pre-visualize color adjustments when viewing prints.

Yellow is the opposite of blue and can be used to reduce blue tones or casts within a scene or print. This yellow CC50 is more dense than a CC40 filter and less dense than a CC70 filter, and requires a 0.6 stop compensation for normal exposure results.

Tiffen filters are made using ColorCore technology; a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass and grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. This filter measures 3 x 3" / 76.2 x 76.2mm.

Q: 2. What specifically is the UV haze filter (brand, model, etc) that is included in this package? (It would be nice to have the details explained in the description)

A: The UV haze filter will help to cut through UV haze especially with landscape photography. However, I feel that the most important reason for using the filter is to protect the lens. Putting the filter on is the first thing I do when I get the lens. It is a lot less expensive to replace a scratched filter than a scratched lens, which is bound to happen with use over time.
