Tiffen 4 x 5.65″ Soft Edge Graduated 0.9 ND Filter

The Tiffen 4 x 5.65″ Soft Edge Graduated 0.9 ND Filter, available from Lightbulb Rentals, is a specialized tool designed for controlling exposure in photography and filmmaking, particularly in scenes with uneven lighting conditions.
Key features and benefits of the Tiffen Soft Edge Graduated 0.9 ND Filter include:
Graduated Neutral Density Filter: This filter is designed to darken specific areas of the image, such as bright skies, while leaving the rest of the scene unaffected. The density of the filter is highest at the edge and gradually tapers to clear towards the center, creating a soft transition line between the darkened and clear areas.
0.3 Density (1 Stop Reduction): The filter provides a 1-stop reduction in light entering the lens in the darkened portion, allowing for better exposure balance between bright and dark areas of the frame.
Water White Glass Construction: Constructed from Water White glass, the filter ensures exceptional optical clarity and color fidelity, maintaining the integrity of the captured image.
ColorCore Technology: Utilizes ColorCore technology, where the filter substrate is laminated between two pieces of optical glass and ground flat with a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. This process ensures durability, minimizes optical imperfections, and maintains consistent performance over time.
Horizontal Orientation: Specifically designed for horizontal orientation, the transition line of the filter runs parallel to the long side of the filter. This orientation is ideal for landscapes and other wide-angle compositions where the horizon line or bright sky needs to be balanced with the rest of the scene.
Wide Compatibility: Compatible with filter holders designed to accommodate 4mm-thick, 4 x 5.65″ rectangular filters, making it versatile for various professional camera setups.
