Tiffen 6.6x6.6" Low Contrast 1 Glass Filter

Find the perfect solution to controlling contrast in bright, sunlit exteriors with the 6.6x6.6" Low Contrast 1 Glass Filter. This high-quality, professional-grade filter from Tiffen, a renowned brand in the photography industry, is designed to balance your exposure, preventing severe under or over-exposure.

The Low Contrast 1 Glass Filter works by creating a subtle amount of localized flare near highlight areas within your image. This effective technique reduces contrast by gently lightening nearby shadow areas, while leaving highlights almost untouched. This versatile filter is ideal for photographers aiming to achieve a specific look in their images, particularly when shooting high contrast scenes.

For those situations where lighter shadows are not desired, the filter includes a light-absorbing element. This feature, without exposure compensation, reduces contrast by subtly darkening highlights.

In addition, the mild flare produced from bright highlights can be utilized as a unique lighting effect, adding an artistic touch to your photography. The filter's innovative design, which uses surrounding ambient light, not just light in the image area, to evenly lighten shadows throughout, earned Tiffen a Technical Achievement Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences.

The Tiffen Low Contrast 1 Glass Filter is part of a range that includes grades from 1/8 to 5, with the higher the number indicating a greater effect. This durable and effective filter is an essential tool for photographers seeking precise control over contrast in their images.
