Tiffen 77mm Gold Diffusion/FX 1 Filter

The Tiffen 77mm Gold Diffusion/FX 1 filter diffuses bright light entering the lens and produces a halation effect. Although the resulting image appears softer and more ethereal, there is little loss of sharpness or detail. This filter works by diffusing light entering the lens with small aberrations; by distributing light more evenly, a soft halo is created rather than the sharp, well-defined image obtained 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 1, offering slight 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.
