Tiffen 82mm Ultra Contrast 1/4 Filter

Professional Contrast Control for Cinematic Imagery

The Tiffen 82mm Ultra Contrast 1/4 Filter is an essential tool for cinematographers and photographers looking to master high-contrast environments. Unlike standard filters that may only affect specific areas, the Ultra Contrast series works by utilizing ambient light to open up shadows uniformly. This results in a more balanced image that retains detail in the darkest regions without sacrificing the integrity of your highlights.

Superior Shadow Detail Without Flare

One of the primary advantages of the Ultra Contrast 1/4 is its ability to reveal intricate shadow detail without introducing flare or halation. Even when shooting toward direct light sources or bright reflections, the filter maintains a clean, professional look. This makes it ideal for outdoor shoots where harsh sunlight creates deep, unrecoverable shadows.

• Consistent Sharpness: Experience no loss of image resolution or clarity across the frame.
• Balanced Exposure: Achieve a more natural dynamic range by lifting the floor of your shadows.
• Advanced Optics: Built using Tiffen's proprietary ColorCore technology for lasting performance.

Precision Engineering

Each filter is crafted using ColorCore glass, a process where the filter material is permanently laminated between two pieces of optical glass. These are ground to a tolerance of one ten-thousandth of an inch and secured in a precision aluminum ring, ensuring the highest level of optical flat surfaces for your 82mm lenses.
