The Tiffen 127mm Warm Center Spot Filter is a softening filter that allows you to maintain sharp, clear focus in the center of the image while blurring the perimeter of the frame. This helps to isolate your central subject matter while softening the surrounding areas.

This filter also combines the diffusion effect with an 812 warming filter for providing a general warmth to the image and for improving skin tones. This warming effect also helps to reduce blue sensitivity and for cutting through overly cool tones within the scene.

Tiffen filters are made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and then mounting to precision metal rings.

Q: 6. Can someone expand on the reasoning behind the limitation of strobes up to 600Ws (with the modeling light off) or COB LEDs up to 100W? What happens if you use a Siros light at 800Ws? Can the unit be damaged or will the lighting effect start to fall apart?

A: Strobes do heat up. Over 600 watts the heat produced can be too much using Westcott Optical Spot by Lindsay Adler for Broncolor. And can damage a light. Best is to either not use full power and not go over 600 watts. Or just shoot slow so the heat can dissipate if you are shooting more than 600 watts.

Q: 9. Would EF lenses like the Yongnuo YN 35mm f/2 or the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM lens provide a wider pattern on the background than the 100mm that comes standard? Also, would their focusing rings serve to focus the beam since the standard lens actually moves within for focus?

A: According to Westcott, when using the Westcott Optical Spot by Lindsay Adler for Broncolor, you may attach any EF mount lens onto the Optical Snoot. The aperture will stay open at its widest point, and you will be able to focus the lens using the focus ring on the lens. As such, the Yongnuo YN 35mm f/2 Lens for Canon EF, B&H # YOYN35MMF2, and the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens, B&H # CA5018EFSTM, should both work on the Westcott Optical Spot by Lindsay Adler for Broncolor.
