The Tiffen Black Satin Filter helps to reduce the overall contrast of an image and better control the highlights within a scene. In addition to rendering highlights with a grittier more grainy appearance this filter also helps to subtly soften facial blemishes and wrinkles for a natural refined look. The 2 density provides more contrast and highlight reduction than the 1 but less than the 3 while still producing a soft yet natural appearance. This filter is constructed from Water White glass and is made using ColorCore technology a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10000th of an inch and mounting to precision metal rings.
