Tiffen 82mm Satin 3 Filter

Professional Skin Smoothing and Highlight Control

The Tiffen 82mm Satin 3 Filter is a premier diffusion tool designed to subtly reduce the appearance of facial blemishes and wrinkles. By softening highlights and lowering contrast, this filter creates a more flattering image while maintaining the essential sharpness of the subject's eyes and hair. It is an essential tool for cinematographers looking to take the digital edge off modern lenses.

Advanced Grade 3 Diffusion

This specific filter features a Grade 3 intensity, providing the strongest effect in the Satin series. While Grades 1 and 2 offer milder diffusion, the Grade 3 delivers a more pronounced halation around highlights and a smoother texture across the frame, making it ideal for high-contrast environments or specific stylistic choices where a delicate, understated look is required.

ColorCore Technology and Optical Precision

Constructed from water white glass, the filter ensures exceptional clarity and color fidelity. Tiffen utilizes its proprietary ColorCore technology to laminate the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass, grinding it to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. This process ensures consistent performance and durability for professional production environments.

• Consistent Atmosphere: Maintains a steady background look even in wide shots without increasing halation.
• Delicate Halation: Produces a controlled spill around light sources without overpowering the image.
• Fine Detail Retention: Softens textures and skin tones without breaking up the overall image resolution.
