Tiffen 67mm Ultra Contrast 1 Filter

Professional Contrast Control for Cinematography and Photography

The Tiffen 67mm Ultra Contrast 1 Filter is engineered to reveal hidden details in shadow areas by utilizing ambient light from both the surrounding environment and the image itself. Unlike traditional filters, it lowers contrast uniformly across the entire frame without sacrificing sharpness, making it an essential tool for shooting in high-dynamic-range environments.

While standard low-contrast filters primarily focus on opening shadows, the Ultra Contrast series provides a more comprehensive effect. It manages brightness levels throughout the scene to ensure a balanced exposure, even when dealing with varying degrees of light intensity. Crucially, this filter achieves these results without introducing flare or halation from direct light sources or specular reflections.

Built to professional standards, this filter features Tiffen's proprietary ColorCore glass. This manufacturing process involves laminating the filter material between two pieces of optical glass ground to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. The glass is then mounted in a precision-machined aluminum ring for maximum durability and optical alignment.
