Tiffen 77MM Ultra Contrast 2
The Tiffen 77mm Ultra Contrast 2 filter helps to open up your shadows by using the ambient light around the image area as well as the light in the image itself. It uniformly reduces contrast overall, without loss of sharpness in the scene, even in the presence of different brightness levels.
Shadow areas will reveal more detail but without blur or halation from direct light sources or bright reflections. The Ultra Contrast works similarly to a Tiffen Low Contrast filter, the difference being that it reduces contrast across the entire image whereas a Low Contrast filter will only open up the shadows.
The Ultra Contrast 2 filter continues to capture even more detail in shadow areas. Contrast continues to be reduced uniformly across the entire image area. Sharpness is still not compromised and you will not see any blur or halation appear.
Tiffen's ColorCore glass is produced by a process that involves permanently laminating the filter material between two pieces of optical glass polished to a tolerance of one ten-thousandth of an inch, then mounting them in precision aluminium rings.
Features
- Bright lights or sunlight create problems when the ratio between highlight and shadow areas exceeds the film's latitude; if you expose for the highlights, shadows appear without detail; if you expose for the shadows, the result is washed out, with highlights too bright
- Contrast reduction is achieved by lightening shadows without overexposing or darkening, or by darkening highlights without further darkening shadows
- Even shooting directly into the sun produces no blur or halation
- Tiffen's ColorCore glass is sealed between two sheets of optical glass. In this way, Tiffen can better control the different densities of their filters and thus create more precise degrees of filtration. This process allows for greater colour accuracy compared to glass that is simply tinted and becomes subject to deviations during the tinting process
