Tiffen 62mm Black Diffusion/FX 5 Filter

The Tiffen 62mm Black Diffusion/FX 5 Filter diffuses intense light entering the lens and produces a luminous effect. Although the resulting image appears softer and more ethereal, there is little loss of clarity or detail. This filter works by diffusing the light entering the lens with small aberrations; by distributing the light more evenly, a soft glow is created rather than the sharp, well-defined image when shooting without a filter. This filter has a density of 5, offering the greatest possible softening. Tiffen filters are manufactured using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass, grinding it flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and then mounting it on precision metal rings. - The diffusion filter imparts an ethereal quality to photographs, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. - The soft image quality does not compromise the overall detail of the image. - Light entering the lens is diffused by small aberrations, creating a soft glow rather than the sharp, well-defined image when shooting without a filter.
