Tiffen FL-D lens

Tiffen FL-D lens. It’s cheap. It’s entry-level. It’s the wrong size.

A fluorescent filter lens is used to correct green color tones that appear when taking a photo where fluorescent light source is present. FL-D is a day filter, for daylight type of fluorescent lamps.

I acquired it on-line for almost 18 dollars, but the unit price tagged on the lens casing is 14.99. Weasels they are. And I still had to pay additional shipping fees! Also, there’s couple of smudged fingerprints on the lens that I couldn’t remove and it seems like it’s stuck between the mirrors.

And finally, if that’s not awful enough, it’s the wrong size! I mistakenly placed an order for 55mm instead of 58mm.

Tiffen lenses aren’t bad. It may be cheap (at least the ones I bought) but it produces result. The photo above was taken with a circular polarizer attached on macro mode.

So, 55m FL-D lens anyone?
