Tiffen Black Satin Filters Set 4 x 5.65 ( 1/8, 1/4,/1/2, 1, 2 )

Black Satin filters have become increasingly popular with cinematographers looking for a clean, understated diffusion effect. Rather than dramatically altering the image, they gently soften fine detail, smooth skin tones and reduce the harshness that can sometimes be associated with modern high-resolution digital cameras. The result is a natural, cinematic image that retains plenty of sharpness while feeling less clinical.

This set includes 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1 and 2 strengths, allowing you to tailor the amount of diffusion to suit each production. The lighter filters provide a subtle enhancement that's well suited to interviews, documentaries and commercial work, while the stronger filters introduce a more noticeable softening effect for drama, fashion and music videos.
