The Tiffen 4 x 5.65" 2 Tobacco Soft-Edge Graduated Filter
helps to specifically add a warm, brownish-yellow coloration to skies
and other bright areas of an image while allowing a portion of the image
to remain neutrally colored. The filter's coloring is densest at the
edge and tapers to clear by the middle, with a soft-edged transition
between the density and clear areas. The 2 color density provides less
tobacco coloration than the 3 density filter but more than 1.
This filter is
made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the
filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass and grinding flat to a
tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. It measures 4 x 5.65" / 101.6 x
143.5mm.
Note: A vertical orientation filter's line of transition runs parallel to the short side of the filter.
- Provides a warm brownish-yellow coloring to select areas of the image.
- Graduated filter design keeps a portion of the image neutral, resulting in a more realistic look while allowing for the sky or other bright areas to take on the color of the density.
