The Tiffen Black Diffusion/FX filter is a subtle diffusion filter that softens strong light and creates a gentle glow while maintaining overall image clarity. It diffuses light entering the lens with fine optical aberrations, producing an ethereal, softened look without significantly reducing detail or introducing a heavy blur. Highlights take on a smooth, dream like quality, and contrast is slightly lowered for a more organic rendering. This effect also helps to smooth skin tones and reduce minor blemishes without compromising the sharpness of key subjects. Available in multiple strengths, the Black Diffusion/FX filter is ideal for cinematography and photography where you want a delicate, film like aesthetic with minimal impact on image definition.
