From capturing natural colors in daylight to reducing the heavy blue cast of tungsten-balanced film, the 49mm W10 Umber Warming Color Conversion Multi-Coated Glass Filter is an essential tool for photographers. This filter warms the ambient light entering the lens by a significant 1950 Degree Kelvin (+100 mired shift), adding a rich, dark amber hue to the overall exposure.
Ideal for use with tungsten balanced films like Cinestill 800T, the W10 filter excels in outdoor shoots during the day, helping to create a natural, warm look. It also performs exceptionally well when shooting tungsten-balanced film indoors with 5500 Degree K light sources, such as flashes or studio strobes.
The W10 filter is slightly less intense than the W12, producing a subtly warmer look when used with standard tungsten balance film. This makes it a versatile choice for photographers seeking to add a touch of warmth to their images without overpowering the original colors.
Featuring HOYA's Multi-Coat (HMC) technology, this filter is designed to enhance the performance of today's multicoated lenses. The HMC filters are renowned for minimizing reflection, reducing flare and ghosting, and achieving over 97% average light transmission. This ensures that every shot you take with the 49mm W10 Umber Warming Color Conversion Multi-Coated Glass Filter is clear, crisp, and true to life.
