The Tiffen 55mm Black Satin 1 filter is a round 55mm diffusion filter. It attaches to a lens's 55mm front thread and can be stacked with other filters via its own 55mm thread. Diffusion is rated at grade 1, the lightest grade on this scale, a subtle lift to highlights.
Key Features
Soft Focus/Diffusion Filter
A diffusion filter lowers contrast and blooms highlights, softening digital sharpness in a way that is difficult to reproduce convincingly in post.
Round Screw-In Format
The filter threads directly onto the front of a lens, which suits handheld and location work where a matte box would be in the way.
55mm Filter Thread
The filter threads onto a 55mm front thread. A lens with a different thread needs a step ring.
55mm Front Thread
The front of the filter carries its own 55mm thread, so a second filter or a hood can be mounted in front of it.
Grade 1 Diffusion
Diffusion is rated at grade 1, the lightest grade on this scale, a subtle lift to highlights.
