Tiffen Black Satin Overview

The Tiffen 82mm 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.

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.
