Tiffen 77mm Ultra Contrast 5 Filter

Professional Contrast Control for High-Dynamic Range

The Tiffen 77mm Ultra Contrast 5 Filter is a specialized tool designed to manage extreme lighting conditions by opening shadows and lowering overall contrast. Unlike standard filters, it utilizes ambient light from both the surrounding area and the image itself to lift dark regions uniformly. This ensures that shadow areas reveal intricate detail without the risk of flare or halation from direct light sources.

Advanced Shadow Management

While traditional Low Contrast filters primarily focus on opening shadows, the Ultra Contrast series works across the entire image. The Grade 5 intensity provides a significant reduction in contrast, making it ideal for scenes with harsh lighting or varying degrees of brightness. Despite the heavy contrast adjustment, the filter maintains consistent sharpness and image integrity.

Precision Manufacturing

Each filter is crafted using Tiffen's proprietary ColorCore technology. This process involves laminating the filter material between two pieces of high-quality optical glass, which are then ground flat to a tolerance of one ten-thousandth of an inch. The result is a durable, high-performance filter mounted in a precision-engineered aluminum ring.
