The Tiffen Ten-Year Warranty
Tiffen precision-made filters are so superior, we back
them with a 10-year warranty against manufacturing
defects. Unlike ordinary batch-dyed glass filters in which
color can be uneven, our unique lamination process
allows complete control over color and density for
maximum consistency. Tiffen has been honored with two
Technical Achievement Awards, and a Scientific and
Engineering Award from the Academy of Motion Picture
Arts and Sciences for its lamination process and innova-
tive product design. Tiffen has also been awarded an
Emmy, from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences,
for its Engineering Excellence.
The Professional’s Choice
Superior quality and design make Tiffen the over-
whelming choice of moviemakers, professional photog-
raphers and even NASA. Our filters are used in almost
every major movie and TV production around the world.
The craftsmanship these professionals demand is part
of every Tiffen filter, whether for video, digital imaging,
scientific work, film or still photography. Shouldn’t
Tiffen be your filter?

Some filters are available in various densities (grades). As the
density increases, the filter effect becomes stronger. For those
filters that combine a warming effect technology with any of
several other effects in one filter, the warming effect remains
the same.
Please check the filter sizer on page 47 to select the correct filter
size for your camera.
