The Tiffen 82mm Satin 2 Filter is an essential tool for cinematographers and photographers looking to achieve a flattering, organic look. By intentionally reducing the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles, this filter creates a smoother skin texture while maintaining critical sharpness in fine details like eyes and hair.
This Grade 2 filter provides a moderate effect, sitting between the subtle Grade 1 and the more pronounced Grade 3. It works by softening highlights and reducing overall contrast, producing a delicate halation effect that adds a cinematic atmosphere without overpowering the frame. The result is a sophisticated, understated look that avoids the appearance of being overly filtered.
Advanced ColorCore Technology
Constructed from premium water white glass, the filter ensures exceptional clarity and color fidelity. Tiffen utilizes their proprietary ColorCore technology, a process where the filter substrate is laminated between two pieces of optical glass and ground flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. This precision manufacturing ensures consistent results across different lenses and environments.
Consistent Atmosphere: Halation remains stable in wide shots, preventing background shifts during production.
Modern Lens Optimization: Softens the clinical sharpness of modern digital sensors and high-resolution lenses.
Durable Design: Mounted in a precision metal ring for long-lasting professional use in the field.
