Tiffen 6.6x6.6" Low Contrast 2 Glass Filter

Where managing contrast in brightly lit outdoor settings can be challenging, the 6.6x6.6" Low Contrast 2 Glass Filter from Tiffen offers an effective solution. This high-quality filter is designed to balance the exposure between highlights and shadows, preventing severe under or over-exposure. It introduces a subtle amount of localized flare near highlight areas, thereby reducing contrast by gently illuminating nearby shadow regions, while leaving the highlights virtually untouched.

For scenarios where lighter shadows are not desired, this versatile filter incorporates a light-absorbing element. This feature, without the need for exposure compensation, diminishes contrast by subtly darkening highlights. The mild flare produced from bright highlights can also be utilized as a unique lighting effect, adding an artistic touch to your photography or videography.

The Tiffen Low Contrast 2 Glass Filter is not just a tool for contrast control, but also a means to enhance the overall image quality without affecting sharpness or causing unwanted highlight flare. This professional-grade filter utilizes surrounding ambient light, not just light within the image area, to evenly lighten shadows throughout the scene.

Tiffen's innovative design has earned them a Technical Achievement Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, making this filter a popular choice in both the Motion Picture and TV industry. Available in grades ranging from 1/8 to 5, the higher the number, the greater the effect, this durable filter offers a range of contrast control options to suit various shooting conditions and creative visions.
