Tiffen 55mm Black Satin 2 Filter

Cinematic Texture and Highlight Control

The Tiffen 55mm Black Satin 2 Filter is engineered for photographers and cinematographers who need to manage high-contrast environments while maintaining a refined, organic aesthetic. By reducing overall contrast and controlling highlight flares, this filter creates a grittier, more textured appearance in bright areas, effectively counteracting the clinical sharpness of modern digital sensors.

Natural Skin Refinement

Beyond contrast management, the Black Satin 2 density excels in portraiture. It subtly softens facial blemishes, wrinkles, and skin textures without sacrificing essential detail. The result is a natural, polished look that mimics the characteristics of classic film stocks, providing more highlight reduction than the 1 density while remaining more subtle than the 3.

Precision Optical Construction

Built to professional standards, this filter is manufactured using Tiffen's proprietary ColorCore technology. This process involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass, grinding it flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and mounting it into precision metal rings for maximum durability and clarity.

• Water White Glass: Ensures maximum optical clarity and color fidelity for high-resolution imaging.
• Density 2 Performance: Offers a balanced level of contrast reduction and highlight softening.
• Professional Mounting: Precision-engineered metal rings provide a secure fit on 55mm lens threads.
