The Tiffen 52mm #12 Yellow Filter is an essential tool for photographers looking to enhance contrast and tonal separation in black and white photography. By absorbing blue light, this filter darkens skies, reduces haze, and brings out dramatic cloud detail, making it ideal for landscapes, aerial work, and astrophotography.

Recommended as a basic filter for Kodak Aero Ektachrome Infrared Film, the #12 Yellow Filter improves tonal range and clarity for specialized infrared imaging.

With a filter factor of 2, exposure must be increased by 1 stop when using this filter.

Constructed with Tiffen’s renowned ColorCore® technology, the filter material is laminated between two precision optical glass layers, ground and polished to exact tolerances, and mounted into a durable metal ring for long-lasting professional performance.

Ruby ★★★★★

Finally got this for my street photography kit, and the way it cuts through haze on sunny days gives my black and white shots that classic, punchy contrast I've been after.

Penelope C. ★★★★★

Shooting a roll of HP5 on an overcast day, this filter gave my skies the dramatic separation they were missing. The blue-light absorption really does work — clouds popped beautifully against the darker sky. It threaded onto my lens without any fuss.

Amelia ★★★★★

I’ve been using this 52mm yellow filter for my black-and-white street photography, and it noticeably darkens the sky to make clouds pop without any weird color shift. The build feels solid and it screws on smoothly.
