Tiffen 62mm Ultra Contrast 1 Filter

Professional Contrast Control for Cinematography and Photography

The Tiffen 62mm Ultra Contrast 1 Filter is engineered to reveal hidden detail in shadow areas by utilizing ambient light from both the surrounding environment and the image itself. Unlike traditional filters that may cause blooming, this filter lowers contrast uniformly across the entire frame without sacrificing sharpness or clarity.

While standard Low Contrast filters primarily focus on opening shadows, the Ultra Contrast series provides a more comprehensive adjustment by managing contrast throughout the scene. This makes it an essential tool for shooting in high-contrast environments where maintaining a balanced exposure is critical.

Shadows are lightened to capture intricate textures, yet the image remains free from flare or halation, even when direct light sources or bright reflections are present. This ensures a clean, natural look that preserves the integrity of your highlights.

Each filter is manufactured using Tiffen's proprietary ColorCore technology. This process involves laminating the filter material between two pieces of optical glass ground to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, then mounting it in a precision-machined aluminum ring for maximum durability and optical performance.
