The Tiffen #21 Orange Filter is specifically designed to enhance contrast in black and white photography, creating striking tonal separation and added depth. By absorbing blue and blue‑green wavelengths, this filter renders blue skies darker, clouds more pronounced, and water surfaces richer—making it an excellent choice for landscape, marine, and aerial photography. Unlike dyed filters, Tiffen filters are manufactured using proprietary ColorCore® technology, a process that laminates the filter material between two layers of high-quality optical glass. The glass is then precision-ground, polished, and securely mounted in a metal ring for smooth attachment to your camera lens. The result is a durable, professional-grade filter that delivers consistent performance, improved image clarity, and enhanced creative control for photographers who demand superior black and white results. Ideal For Black & white film or digital photography Dramatic skies and cloud definition Water, coastal, and marine scenes Landscape and aerial photography
This filter renders blue tones, such as those in marine scenes, darker.
