Tiffen 4x5.65" Soft Contrast 2 Glass Filter

Let the 4x5.65" Soft Contrast 2 Glass Filter be your solution to the challenges of controlling contrast in bright, sunlit exteriors. This high-quality filter is designed to balance the exposure between highlights and shadows, preventing severe under or over-exposure. It achieves this by creating a subtle amount of localized flare near highlight areas within the image, effectively reducing contrast by gently lightening nearby shadow areas while leaving highlights almost unchanged.

The Soft Contrast 2 Glass Filter also incorporates a light-absorbing element. This unique feature, without requiring exposure compensation, further reduces contrast by subtly darkening highlights. This is particularly useful when you want to maintain the depth of your shadows without making them too light.

In addition, the mild flare produced from bright highlights can be creatively used as a lighting effect, adding an extra dimension to your photography. The filter's innovative design, which utilizes surrounding ambient light and not just the light in the image area, ensures even lightening of shadows throughout the frame. This allows for effective contrast control without affecting sharpness or causing unwanted highlight flare.

This 4x5.65" Soft Contrast 2 Glass Filter is part of Tiffen's award-winning Ultra Contrast Filter series.
