Tiffen 72mm Satin 3 Filter

Professional Skin Smoothing and Contrast Control

The Tiffen 72mm Satin 3 Filter is an essential tool for cinematographers and photographers looking to achieve a flattering, understated look. By purposely reducing the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles, this filter creates a smoother texture on subjects while maintaining critical sharpness in fine details like eyes and hair. It is designed to take the edge off modern digital lenses without making the image look overly filtered.

Atmospheric Halation and Grade 3 Intensity

This filter produces a delicate halation effect around highlights, enhancing the atmosphere of a scene without overpowering the frame. As a Grade 3 filter, it offers the strongest effect in the Satin series, providing approximately twice the diffusion of the Grade 2. This ensures a consistent background atmosphere that remains stable even in wide shots, delivering a sophisticated level of control over contrast and light spill.

Precision ColorCore Construction

Tiffen filters are manufactured using ColorCore technology, a proprietary process that involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass. Each filter is ground flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch and mounted in precision metal rings. Constructed from water white glass, the Satin 3 ensures maximum clarity and color fidelity for professional-grade results.

• Subtle Resolution: Softens textures while keeping eyes and hair sharp in close-ups.
• Consistent Atmosphere: Maintains a steady halation effect that does not increase in wide shots.
• Durable Build: Features a precision metal ring and high-quality optical glass.
