The Tiffen 3 x 4" CC05R Red 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.

Red is the opposite of cyan and can be used to reduce cyan tones or casts within a scene or print. This red CC05 is less dense than a CC10 filter, and requires a 0.3 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 4" / 76.2 x 101.6mm.

Q: 4. Hi. Can this filter be used in combination with IR sensitive film (like Rollei Infrared or Ilford sfx)? I see that some filters are described as particularly useful for infrared photography, but not this one. It seems to be the only 30.5 mm dark red filter in stock though, so thought I might as well ask. Thanks in advance!

A: Infrared film, if shot without filters, looks like normal black & white film. That is because regular light overpowers the IR. So you need filters that are IR friendly. In this instance, you could use this Heliopan 30.5mm #29 Dark Red Filter with Ilford. According to Ilford, When used with a deep red filter, SFX 200 renders blue skies almost black and green vegetation almost white to create a stunning infra-red look to your shots. However, according to Rollei: Please Note: To achieve strong Infrared (IR) effects we recommend exposing the film at a maximum of ISO 25 and using an R72 dark red infrared filter or deeper infrared filter. Standard Red 25A filters are not recommended. Individualized exposure testing is necessary to realize optimal results. Here is the R72 IR by LEE Filters 4 x 4 Infrared (87C) Polyester Filter B&H # LE87C44 which is a gel, not glass or resin. You cut and tape it to the lens. Here is a list of all 30.5mm IR filters we have. https://bhpho.to/2mo9aYU. Here is a site that lists other possible filters for IR film. https://bit.ly/2LjLwYb
