Tiffen 4x5.65" Black Satin FX 1/8 Filter

Professional Skin Smoothing and Cinematic Warming

The Tiffen 4x5.65" Black Satin FX 1/8 Filter is an essential tool for cinematographers looking to achieve a more flattering, organic look. By subtly reducing the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles, this filter provides a smoother texture to skin tones while maintaining critical image sharpness. The 1/8 grade offers the most delicate effect in the series, making it ideal for high-resolution digital sensors that can often appear too clinical.

Enhanced Atmosphere and Contrast

Beyond skin smoothing, the Black Satin filter introduces an intentional warming effect and a fine layer of granularity. It effectively softens harsh highlights and reduces overall contrast, creating a gentle halation around light sources. This results in a dreamlike, cinematic atmosphere without compromising the integrity of the scene.

Precision Manufacturing

Each filter is crafted using Tiffen's proprietary ColorCore technology. This process involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass and grinding them flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. Constructed from high-quality water white glass, it ensures exceptional clarity and color fidelity for professional productions.
