The Tiffen 4 x 5.65" 1/4 Low Contrast filter works to reduce contrast across the entire image by creating a small amount of controlled flare near highlight areas. This provides more detail in shadow regions, without affecting highlight values, to produce apparently lower contrast. This filter is ideal for use at midday and in other high-contrast lighting situations when it is difficult to control both overexposed highlights and underexposed shadows. Density 1/4 provides less contrast adjustment than density 1/2, but more than density 1/8 filter.

Tiffen filters are manufactured 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 5.65" / 101.6 x 143.5 mm.


- Ideal for use at midday and in other high-contrast lighting situations when it is difficult to control both overexposed highlights and underexposed shadows.
- Lower contrast provides more detail in shadows when exposure is correct.
