Tiffen's Pearlescent filters create a new subtle look with slight softening of contrast and a luxurious pearlescent halo around highlights.

These new filters help cinematographers reduce the sharpness of images from modern lenses and cameras, particularly with 4K acquisition sensors.

This increase in sharpness and contrast can be excessive when shooting talent or environments that do not require such an intense level of detail, and this is where the look of Tiffen's Pearlescent filter comes into its own.
