Hoya 46mm C12 Blue Cooling Color Conversion Multi-Coated Glass Filter #A-46C12

From capturing the perfect shot under warm lighting conditions to creating a day-for-night look, the 46mm C12 Blue Cooling Color Conversion Multi-Coated Glass Filter is your go-to solution. This high-quality, durable filter is designed to match the white balance of 3200 Degree K tungsten balanced (warm) ambient light sources with Daylight balanced 5500 Degree K films.

The C12 filter cools the light source by 2200 Degree K (-120 mired shift), adding a deep blue hue to the overall exposure. This blue color conversion filter is specifically engineered to reduce the amount of blue light in your images, enhancing color accuracy and saturation for a more vibrant final product.

Ideal for use with low power traditional light bulbs, candles, and certain halogen bulbs, this filter ensures accurate color recording on daylight-balanced film. Moreover, it's an excellent tool for photographers and videographers aiming to create a day-for-night look, as the added blue cast gives daytime shots a dark blue night feel, particularly on overcast days.

The 46mm C12 Blue Cooling Color Conversion Multi-Coated Glass Filter is equipped with Hoya's Multi-Coat (HMC) technology, recommended for enhancing the performance of today's multicoated lenses. These multi-coated filters minimize reflection, reduce flare and ghosting, and allow for over 97% average light transmission. This results in superior image quality, making this filter an essential addition to your photography equipment.
