Find the perfect balance of optical resolution and subtle contrast with the 4 x 4" Black Satin 1 Density, Diffusion Filter from Tiffen. Expertly engineered to manipulate two key aspects of diffusion, this filter is designed to subtly reduce optical resolution while introducing a granular contrast reduction. This is achieved by incorporating a light-dispersing halation element into the filter, which differs from the smoother, whiter halation found in regular Satin filters.
The Black Satin 1 filter's optical resolution reduction feature increases with each density grade, yet it's so finely tuned that it doesn't appear in the final image when your aperture is stopped down. This ensures your images retain their natural look, without the appearance of being over-filtered or excessively diffused.
The halation element in this filter is more understated than the velvety shroud found in regular Satin filters. This ensures a consistent light effect across your images, without overpowering them or oversaturating the optical diffusion effect. The result is a smooth, matte finish and a delicate glow to highlights, adding depth and dimension to your photography.
This filter comes with a density grade of 1, but is also available in grades of 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 3, and 4. With each grade increase, the filter's effect becomes approximately twice as strong, allowing you to choose the perfect level of diffusion for your creative needs. Whether you're a professional photographer or a passionate hobbyist, the 4 x 4" Black Satin 1 Density, Diffusion Filter from Tiffen is a versatile tool for enhancing your images.
