Tiffen 4x4" Low Light Ultra Contrast 2 Glass Filter

If you're a professional photographer or videographer seeking to master the art of contrast control in challenging lighting conditions, consider the 4x4" Low Light Ultra Contrast 2 Glass Filter from Tiffen. This high-quality, durable filter is specifically engineered to manage contrast in bright, sunlit exteriors where exposure can often be a balancing act between highlights and shadows.

This versatile filter works by creating a subtle amount of localized flare near highlight areas within your image, effectively reducing contrast by gently lightening nearby shadow areas while leaving highlights virtually untouched. The result is a balanced, professional-grade image that doesn't compromise on sharpness or highlight flare.

For those instances where lighter shadows are not desired, the filter incorporates a light-absorbing element. This feature, without exposure compensation, further reduces contrast by subtly darkening highlights, offering you even more control over your image's final look.

The 4x4" Low Light Ultra Contrast 2 Glass Filter doesn't just use the light in the image area, but also harnesses the surrounding ambient light to evenly lighten shadows throughout your shot. This makes it an indispensable tool when you need comprehensive contrast control without any other effect on sharpness or highlight flare.

Tiffen's Low Light Ultra Contrast filters are available in grades from 1/8 to 5, with the higher numbers indicating a greater effect. This range ensures that you can select the perfect level of contrast control for your specific needs.

With its innovative design, Tiffen's 4x4" Low Light Ultra Contrast 2 Glass Filter has been recognized with a Technical Achievement Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences. This is a testament to its effectiveness and popularity among professionals in the motion picture and TV industry.

In summary, this filter is a must-have tool for photographers and videographers who demand precision, quality, and control in their work.
