About Tiffen Soft Contrast Filter

Take your photography to the next level with the 4x5.65" Soft Contrast 4 Glass Filter, a high-quality and professional tool designed for optimal contrast control. This durable filter is a must-have for photographers working in bright, sunlit exteriors where managing contrast can be a challenge.

The Soft Contrast 4 Glass Filter is engineered to balance both 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 untouched.

This versatile filter also incorporates a light-absorbing element. This feature, without exposure compensation, further reduces contrast by subtly darkening highlights, making it an ideal choice when lighter shadows are not desired.

The Soft Contrast 4 Glass Filter is also known for producing a mild flare from bright highlights, a characteristic that can be creatively used as a lighting effect. This filter is part of Tiffen's award-winning Ultra Contrast Filters line, recognized with a Technical Achievement Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences for its innovative design.

Unlike other filters, the Soft Contrast 4 Glass Filter utilizes not just the light in the image area, but also the surrounding ambient light to evenly lighten shadows throughout the image. This results in a controlled contrast without any noticeable effect on sharpness or highlight flare.

Tiffen offers a range of Low Contrast and Ultra Contrast filters in densities 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and Soft Contrast filters in densities 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5, providing photographers with a comprehensive suite of tools for all their contrast control needs.
