Tiffen 67mm Gold Diffusion/FX 3 Filter

The Tiffen 67mm Gold Diffusion/FX 3 filter diffuses strong light entering the lens and produces a luminous effect. Whilst 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. In addition to the diffusion provided, a golden tint is also added to the image, bringing more warmth and helping to balance skin tones. This filter has a density of 3, providing moderate 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, then mounting it on precision metal rings.
