The Tiffen 4 x 5.65" Black Satin 1/2 Filter offers a deliberate approach to enhancing portraits. By effectively diminishing the visibility of blemishes and wrinkles, it introduces a controlled warming effect to the entire image, adding a touch of pleasing granularity. This proves especially valuable in achieving more flattering outcomes for subjects. As highlights are gently diffused and contrast is toned down, textures appear smoother and more refined. The filter also creates attractive halations around highlights, further enhancing subjects or achieving specific visual effects, all while preserving overall image sharpness.

With a grade of 1/2, this filter delivers its unique effect in a balanced manner. It's worth noting that this type of filter is available in various grades—1/8, 1/4, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Each increase in grade number roughly doubles the strength of the filter's effect.

Crafted from water white glass, this filter prioritizes clarity and color accuracy. The production process employs ColorCore technology, a sophisticated method that involves sandwiching the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass and meticulously grinding them to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, ensuring consistent and high-quality results.
