Tiffen 6.6 x 6.6" Chocolate 2 Soft-Edge Graduated Filter

Let the Tiffen Color-Grad filters elevate your photography to new heights. As one of the most utilized filter categories in the photography industry, these filters empower photographers to either craft illusions or amplify the reality captured in their images.

The 6.6 x 6.6" Chocolate 2 Soft-Edge Graduated Filter is a versatile tool that can add a splash of color to a dull sky, alter a specific color in a scene for a unique special effect, or enhance existing colors to create subtle color drama. It's also an excellent solution for achieving balanced exposure in uneven lighting situations.

Tiffen Color-Grads are available in a broad spectrum of sizes and colors. They are designed with either soft edges, where the transition area is between 1/2" to 2" wide before reaching full density, or hard edges, where the transition area is approximately 1/4" to 1/2" wide before reaching full density. Special order attenuated gradients are also available, where the transition area spans the entire filter, starting clear and reaching maximum density at the opposite end.

When using rectangular-shaped filters, such as the 4x5.650 (Panavision size), the orientation of the filter in relation to the camera is crucial when the grad line is horizontal. The terms vertical and horizontal are used to describe this relationship.

The choice between a "hard" edge or "soft" edge Tiffen Color-Grad filter depends on your subject matter, its surroundings, and the type of lens you use. Telephoto lenses, which utilize a small portion of the filter, are best paired with a hard edge. Conversely, wide-angle lenses, which make objects appear smaller, are ideally suited to a soft edge, as a hard edge gradient would appear as a harsh straight line. Soft edges and attenuators are perfect for subtle blending with irregular-shaped subjects or unusual lighting.

In essence, the 6.6 x 6.6" Chocolate 2 Soft-Edge Graduated Filter is a versatile, high-quality tool that can help you achieve your creative vision in photography.
