Tiffen Ultra Contrast 1 72mm Filter

The Tiffen Ultra Contrast 1 72mm Filter can be used to intentionally reduce contrast when taking photographs or recording video. By distributing ambient lighting to darker areas of a scene, this filter is useful for evenly balancing the tonal range between highlights and shadows. Detail is increased in shadow areas whilst flare and halation around highlights are deliberately limited.
This filter has a grade of 1. Grades of 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are also available, with the effect of this type of filter becoming approximately twice as strong with each increase in grade number.
This filter is made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass and polishing it flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch.
