Tiffen 4 x 4" Black Satin 3 Density, Diffusion Filter

When capturing the perfect shot, the 4 x 4" Black Satin 3 Density, Diffusion Filter by Tiffen plays a crucial role in enhancing your photography experience. This meticulously designed filter aims to modify two key aspects of diffusion concurrently. Its primary function is to subtly decrease optical resolution, while simultaneously introducing a gentle granular contrast reduction. This is achieved by incorporating a light-dispersing halation element within the filter, a feature that sets it apart from the smoother, whiter regular Satin filters.

The optical resolution reduction aspect of this filter intensifies with each density level, offering a fine-tuned control that doesn't compromise the quality of your images, even when your aperture is stopped down. The halation component, on the other hand, is more subdued compared to the velvety shroud found in regular Satin filters. Both elements maintain a light constant in either filter, ensuring that your images never appear over-filtered or excessively diffused.

The 4 x 4" Black Satin 3 Density, Diffusion Filter delivers a matte, smooth finish to your images, while adding a delicate glow to highlights. Its minimalistic appearance ensures that the focus remains on your subject, rather than the filter effect. This filter carries a grade of 3, with other grades such as 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 3, and 4 also available. With each grade number increase, the filter's effect becomes approximately twice as strong, providing you with a wide range of options to achieve your desired photographic effect.
