Tiffen 46mm Black Satin 2 Filter

Professional Contrast and Highlight Control

The Tiffen 46mm Black Satin 2 Filter is an essential tool for cinematographers and photographers looking to achieve a sophisticated, filmic look. By reducing overall contrast and controlling highlights, this filter adds a unique texture to your imagery. The 2 density offers a balanced level of highlight reduction, sitting perfectly between the subtle effect of a 1 and the more pronounced diffusion of a 3.

Refined Skin Tones and Texture

One of the primary advantages of the Black Satin series is its ability to soften facial blemishes and wrinkles without making the image look artificially blurred. It maintains a sharp focus while providing a natural, refined appearance that is ideal for portraiture and narrative filmmaking. The highlights are rendered with a grittier, more organic grain, helping to take the digital edge off modern high-resolution sensors.

Precision Manufacturing

Tiffen filters are built to the highest standards using Water White glass and their proprietary ColorCore technology. This process involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass and grinding it to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. This ensures:

• Superior optical clarity and color accuracy
• Precision-mounted metal rings for a secure fit on 46mm lenses
• Consistent performance across different lighting conditions
