The Tiffen 4 x 4" HDTV/FX 3 filter is a softening and diffusion filter designed specifically for use with high-definition imaging.

This filter helps reduce the hyper-sharpness typically associated with HD photography and produce an image quality closer to film photography.

By slightly reducing contrast and sharpness, skin detail appears smoother and there is an increase in shadow detail. The effects of this filter are most significant when used for video applications rather than for still image photography.

This filter offers more softening than density 4, but less than density 2.

This filter is manufactured from Water White glass and is produced using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass and grinding it flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch.

This filter measures 4 x 4" / 101.6 x 101.6 mm.
