Be captivated by the transformative power of Tiffen Color-Grad filters, a leading choice among industry professionals. These filters empower photographers and videographers to manipulate their images, either by crafting illusions or enhancing the authenticity of a scene.

The 4x5.65" Graduated Soft Edge Sunset 2 Filter, with its vertical orientation, is a versatile tool that can breathe life into a lackluster sky, alter specific colors to achieve a particular effect, or subtly intensify existing colors for added drama. It's also an effective solution for balancing exposure in scenarios with uneven lighting.

Tiffen Color-Grads are available in a comprehensive range of sizes and colors, and are crafted with either soft edge or hard edge gradients. The transition area for soft edge filters ranges from 1/2" to 2" wide before reaching full density, depending on the filter size. Hard edge filters, on the other hand, have a transition area approximately 1/4" to 1/2" wide before reaching full density.

For those seeking a more gradual transition, attenuated gradients are available as a special order. These filters transition from clear to maximum density across the entire filter.

When using rectangular filters like the 4x5.650 (Panavision size), the orientation of the filter in relation to the camera is crucial when the grad line is horizontal.

The choice between a "hard" edge or "soft" edge Tiffen Color-Grad filter depends on your subject matter, surroundings, and lens type. Telephoto lenses utilize a smaller portion of the filter, making a hard edge filter the recommended choice for long lenses. Conversely, wide-angle lenses reduce object size, making a soft edge filter the preferred choice for short focal lengths.

Soft edges and attenuators are ideal for blending with irregular-shaped subjects or unusual lighting, providing a subtle and seamless transition. Elevate your photography and videography with the 4x5.65" Graduated Soft Edge Sunset 2 Filter from Tiffen.
