Tiffen 72mm Ultra Contrast 1/8 Filter

Professional Contrast Control for Cinematic Imagery

The Tiffen 72mm Ultra Contrast 1/8 Filter is an essential tool for cinematographers and photographers looking to manage high-contrast scenes. Unlike standard low-contrast filters that primarily affect shadows, the Ultra Contrast series works by utilizing ambient light from both inside and outside the image area to lower contrast uniformly across the entire frame. This results in a more balanced exposure that retains critical detail in the darkest parts of your composition.

One of the standout features of this filter is its ability to open up shadows without introducing flare or halation. Even when shooting toward direct light sources or bright reflections, the Ultra Contrast 1/8 maintains image integrity and sharpness. This makes it ideal for location shooting where lighting conditions are difficult to control.

Superior Build Quality and ColorCore Technology

Tiffen filters are renowned for their durability and optical precision. This filter is manufactured using ColorCore technology, a process where the filter material is permanently laminated between two pieces of optical glass. These pieces are ground flat to a tolerance of one ten-thousandth of an inch to ensure maximum clarity.

• Consistent performance across varying brightness levels
• No loss of sharpness within the scene
• Precision-machined aluminum mounting ring for a secure fit
• Proudly made in the USA

Whether you are shooting digital or film, the Tiffen Ultra Contrast 1/8 filter provides a subtle yet effective way to expand your camera's dynamic range and achieve a professional, polished look.
