The Tiffen 6 x 6" CC10Y 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 CC10 is more dense than a CC05 filter and less dense than a CC20 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 6 x 6" / 152.4 x 152.4mm.

Q: 6. Just purchased the B+W 77mm Kaesemann Circular Polarizer MRC Filter B&H # BWKCPMC77 and also have this Tiffen UV protector filter. Does the B+W Polarizer simply replaces this filter and acts as a UV Protector -or- can you mount on top of the Tiffen filter. Any benefits of doing this. It seems that if one were to do this there would be issues with.......?

A: The Tiffen serves as your protection for all general purposes. As much as the Kaesemann filter costs, I personally would put the Tiffen on the outside to protect it, or just leave the Tiffen off when using the polarizer for the optimal results. I would not recommend leaving the Circular Polarizer on for all occasions as it causes 2-stops of light loss (which is not usefull for most indoor/low light situations) and is mostly only useful in outdoor situations.
