Tiffen's Pearlescent filters create a new subtle look with slight contrast softening 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 don't require such intense detail, and this is where the effect of Tiffen's Pearlescent filter comes into its own.
