Tiffen Black Satin Overview

The Tiffen 58mm Black Satin 2 Filter helps to reduce the overall contrast of an image and better control the highlights within a scene. In addition to rendering highlights with a grittier, more grainy appearance, this filter also helps to subtly soften facial blemishes and wrinkles for a natural, refined look. The 2 density provides more contrast and highlight reduction than the 1, but less than the 3, while still producing a soft, yet natural appearance.

This filter is constructed from Water White glass and is made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and mounting to precision metal rings.

Offers greater control over highlights, reduces overall contrast, and produces a grittier, grainier appearance in highlight regions.
Smoothes facial blemishes, wrinkles, and other textures for a natural look.
Maintains clear focus and realizes a more filmic look than purely digital capture can otherwise record.
Ideally suited for use with modern lenses and digital image sensors.
Water White optical glass maintains high optical clarity.

Is a step up ring needed to avoid vignetting at 24mm 82mm lens? What about for stacking filters, say 1 nd/cpl+ this filter?
Asked by: Forrest
No, you would not get any vignettes using the Tiffen 82mm Black Satin 1/8 Filter. Depending on the ND/PL that you use, you should be fine with not needing the step-up ring.

Does it have male/female screw threads? Whats the size of the threads? Whats the size of the barrel? Can a 114mm Clamp on matte box fit on this?
Asked by: Marco
According to Tiffen, they state that the 4.5” filters are not threaded and has no internal/external threads, as they are a drop-in style filter made for adapters. As such, the listed 4.5" size reflects the total size of the filter (the outer diameter) which would fit into a 4.5” holder.

question

Can this filter be used in conjunction with a variable ND filter?
Asked by: Erol C.
Yes, you would have to mount the 82mm Black Satin filter to your camera lens first, then mount the Tiffen 82VND:<a href= http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/821128-REG/Tiffen_82VND_82mm_Variable_Neutral_Density.html target= _blank >http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/821128-REG/Tiffen_82VND_82mm_Variable_Neutral_Density.html</a>
