Tiffen 138mm Ultra Contrast 1/8 Filter

Become a master of contrast with the 138mm Ultra Contrast 1/8 Filter, a high-quality, durable, and effective tool for professional photographers and videographers. This versatile filter, crafted by the esteemed Tiffen brand, is renowned for its innovative design that earned a Technical Achievement Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences.

When shooting in challenging bright, sunlit exteriors, managing the balance between highlights and shadows can be a daunting task. With the Tiffen Ultra Contrast 1/8 Filter, you can effortlessly expose both highlights and shadows accurately without the risk of one being severely under- or over-exposed. This filter ingeniously creates a subtle amount of "localized" flare around highlight areas, which in turn lightens the nearby shadow regions, maintaining the integrity of the highlights.

The Ultra Contrast Filter stands out for its unique ability to harness ambient light, not just the light within the image area, to uniformly soften shadows across the scene. This feature is pivotal for scenarios where contrast control is essential, yet you desire no other impact on sharpness or highlight flare.

Moreover, the filter includes a light-absorbing element that, without the need for exposure compensation, adeptly reduces contrast by gently darkening highlights. This is particularly beneficial when you aim to achieve a scene with less pronounced shadows while still retaining the natural look and feel of the image.

Designed to be used as a circular polarizing filter, the 138mm Ultra Contrast 1/8 Filter excels in reducing glare and reflections, enhancing contrast and saturation, and ultimately elevating the overall image quality. Its glass construction ensures durability and consistent performance across a wide array of lens sizes.

Whether you're capturing the subtle nuances of a landscape or the intricate details of a subject under harsh lighting conditions, the Tiffen 138mm Ultra Contrast 1/8 Filter is an indispensable asset for content creators seeking to achieve flawless contrast control in their imagery.
