Cavision 3x3" Low Contrast #3 Glass Filter

The low contrast filter reduces the difference between the light and dark areas of the scene, preventing highlights from blowing out while still maintaining detail in the shadow areas. The low contrast filter works by spreading some of the light from the bright areas onto the other parts of the image. It is ideal for use in sunlight or when other very bright lights are being used. It is often used in video work as a way to compensate for the video CCD's lack of latitude (compared to that of film stock).
