Tiffen 4 x 5.65″ Ultra Contrast 1/2 Filter

The Tilta 4 x 5.65″ Ultra Contrast 1/2 Filter, available from Lightbulb Rentals, is designed to enhance shadow detail and reduce overall contrast uniformly across the entire image, without compromising sharpness or introducing flare from direct light sources. This filter is particularly useful in situations where preserving detail in shadows while maintaining controlled highlights is crucial.
Key features and benefits of the Tilta Ultra Contrast 1/2 Filter include:
Contrast Reduction: The filter effectively lowers contrast throughout the entire image, focusing on enhancing shadow detail. This results in a more balanced exposure where shadows reveal greater detail without causing overexposure in highlights.
Uniform Effect: Unlike traditional Low Contrast filters that primarily open shadows, the Ultra Contrast filter uniformly reduces contrast across the entire image. This ensures that the overall image maintains a natural and pleasing balance without sacrificing sharpness or clarity.
No Flare or Halation: Even when shooting directly into bright light sources such as the sun, the filter prevents flare and halation, maintaining clean and clear image rendering.
ColorCore Glass: Constructed using Tiffen’s ColorCore glass technology, where the filter substrate is permanently laminated between two pieces of optical glass. This process ensures exceptional durability, optical clarity, and precise control over the filter’s density and color neutrality.
