Tiffen 49mm Black Satin 1/8 Filter

Cinematic Texture for Modern Digital Sensors

The Tiffen 49mm Black Satin 1/8 Filter is designed for cinematographers and photographers looking to take the digital edge off modern high-resolution sensors. By reducing overall contrast and controlling highlights, this filter provides a more filmic aesthetic without sacrificing image clarity.

Refined Skin Tones and Highlight Control

This 1/8 density filter subtly softens facial blemishes and wrinkles, providing a natural, refined look that is ideal for portraiture and close-up interviews. Unlike standard diffusion filters, the Black Satin series renders highlights with a grittier, more textured appearance, adding character to the brightest parts of your frame.

Precision Engineering and ColorCore Technology

Each filter is manufactured using Tiffen's proprietary ColorCore technology. This process involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of Water White optical glass, then grinding it flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. The result is exceptional optical consistency and durability, housed in a precision-machined metal ring.
