Tiffen debuts magnetic filter system

The Tiffen Co. debuted the Magnetic Control System (MCS), a simple new way to harness magnetic power to swiftly and securely attach genuine Tiffen filters to lens fronts.

Tiffen’s Magnetic Control System eliminates the hassle of threading filters on and off, while maintaining a safe and positive lock. The MCS Adapter can stay on indefinitely or detach instantly by gripping the knurled edge and gently rotating.

Tiffen’s new MCS Adapter easily rotates on to the lens’ front threads. Once in place, the lens instantly receives any Tiffen MCS precision glass filter, including: ND, Polas, Color, Effects, and the extensive array of diffusion—including Black Fog, Night Fog, Black Pro-Mist, Antique Black Pearlescent, Antique Pearlescent, Antique Satin, Smoque, Glimmerglass, and many more. Each filter comes with front and rear magnetic protector caps and a magnetic adapter of the filter size.

All MCS filters are easily identified due to their matte black finish, distinctive blue ring, and handy raised edge. Each MCS filter includes a matching lens cap that instantly attaches to the filter front or directly fits to the lens via the MCS magnetic lock.

MCS Filters come in 58mm, 77mm, and 82mm with available Step-up MCS Magnetic Adapters to accommodate other sizes. Magnetic Filters are crafted in the USA with optical grade glass.
