About Tiffen Ultra Contrast Filter

Overcoming the challenge of contrast control in brightly lit outdoor environments is made easier with the 4.5" Ultra Contrast 1/2 Filter. This innovative filter, designed by Tiffen, has been recognized with a Technical Achievement Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, highlighting its popularity and effectiveness in both the Motion Picture and TV industries.

The Ultra Contrast Filter stands out for its unique ability to utilize not just the light within the image area, but also the surrounding ambient light. This feature allows it to uniformly lighten shadows throughout the scene, providing a balanced exposure between highlights and shadows that can be difficult to achieve in intense sunlight.

The filter carries a grade of 1/2, offering a stronger effect than the 1/4 grade, yet subtler than the 1 grade. This makes it an ideal choice for situations where precise contrast control is required, without affecting the sharpness of the image or causing highlight flare.

In summary, the 4.5" Ultra Contrast 1/2 Filter is a valuable tool for photographers and videographers seeking to maintain optimal contrast control in their work, especially in challenging lighting conditions.

Tiffen Ultra Contrast Filter Features

  • Works with surrounding ambient light
  • Captures details lost in shadows
  • Lowers contrast evenly throughout image
  • No flare or halation
  • Lets you "see" more
