Tiffen 58mm Satin 2 Filter

Professional Skin Refinement and Highlight Control

The Tiffen 58mm Satin 2 Filter is a sophisticated diffusion tool designed to produce a delicate, understated look. By purposely reducing the appearance of skin blemishes and wrinkles, it creates a flattering portrait while softening highlights and reducing overall contrast. Unlike heavy diffusion filters, the Satin range maintains critical sharpness in fine details like eyes and hair, ensuring your subject remains in focus while textures are smoothed.

Advanced ColorCore Technology

This filter is manufactured using Tiffen's proprietary ColorCore technology. This precise process involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass and grinding it flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. Constructed from water white glass, the filter provides exceptional clarity and color fidelity, making it a reliable choice for high-resolution modern lenses.

Consistent Cinematic Atmosphere

One of the standout features of the Satin 2 is its ability to maintain a constant background atmosphere. The halation effect around highlights remains controlled and does not increase in wide shots, providing cinematographers with unparalleled consistency. This grade 2 filter offers a moderate effect, sitting between the subtler grade 1 and the more pronounced grade 3, allowing for precise creative control over the image's texture and glow.
