Tiffen Black Satin Overview

The Tiffen 77mm Black Satin 1 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 1 density provides less contrast and highlight reduction than the 2, 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.

Tiffen Black Satin Reviews

Great Filter!

Black Satin is a great filter that beautifully performs as advertised. I have as well Tiffen Glimmerglass and Black Pro-Mist. Each has its purposes and consistently enhances the look I'm going for in my photography. Love them all.

Just the right amount of diffusion

I got the 1/4 filter and it is just the right amount of diffusion without being noticeable. The Black Satin diffuses the image without sacrificing the contrast and milking the image out. So just the right amount to take the edge off of modern cinema cameras.

Excellent filter

Subtle alternative to Black Pro Mist

I love this filter. It add a small amount of halation to smooth out highlights while also giving them a nicer roll off. It lowers optical resolution as well to take the edge off of modern lenses and digital sensors. This effect creates a more organic and pleasing image without looking filtered. The black element retains contrast so while it is softened and lowered it doesn't get milky like the black promist. I like the Satin 1 for close up shots and have ordered a 2 and 3 to use on wider lenses.

More filmic less digital

I love this filter! It has a slightly warm and rich look to it. It takes the sharp digital edge off but doesn't reduce contrast and bloom highlights as much of as a black promist does. This is subtle and classy.

very good! No excessive halo, soft and the subject remains high contrast! It's just that the express delivery to China is a bit slow, and I waited for a long time....

At 24mm you should not experience any vignetting, even with a full frame sensor.

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>

question

Whats the difference between the 1, 2, and 3 models?
Asked by: Carter L.
The higher the number, the greater the diffusion effect. A 2 is twice as powerful as a 1, a 3 is twice as powerful as a 2, etc.
