This 2-stop Tiffen Filter Wheel 1 Combination Color Conversion 85B/ND Glass Filter will produce natural colors when shooting with tungsten film outdoors, whereas using tungsten film in daylight without a filter will produce a bluish cast in the photograph.

Neutral density filters have several uses and offer the possibility of achieving otherwise unachievable results. Neutral density filters appear gray and reduce the amount of light reaching the film. They have no effect on color balance. The Tiffen 85 series will produce natural colors when shooting with tungsten film outdoors.
