Tiffen 52mm Satin 2 Filter

Professional Skin Smoothing and Contrast Control

The Tiffen 52mm Satin 2 Filter is a specialized diffusion tool designed to produce a flattering, delicate look in both cinematography and portrait photography. By purposely reducing the appearance of skin blemishes and wrinkles, this filter creates a smoother texture across the subject's face. Unlike heavy diffusion filters, the Satin 2 maintains critical sharpness in eyes and hair while softening harsh highlights and reducing overall contrast.

Advanced ColorCore Construction

Engineered for professional use, this filter is manufactured using Tiffen's proprietary ColorCore technology. This process involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical water white glass, which is then ground flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. This ensures exceptional color fidelity and clarity, making it ideal for use with modern high-resolution lenses.

Subtle Halation and Detail Retention

The Satin range is renowned for its ability to provide an agreeable spill of halation that never overpowers the frame. In wide shots, the background atmosphere remains constant, while close-ups benefit from a subtle resolution effect that prevents the image from looking "over-filtered." This Grade 2 filter offers a moderate effect, sitting between the more subtle Grade 1 and the stronger Grade 3 options.

• Water White Glass: Provides superior optical clarity compared to standard glass.
• Precision Metal Ring: Durable construction for reliable mounting and longevity.
• Consistent Results: Maintains a constant atmosphere across different focal lengths.
