Tiffen Black Pearlescent Diffusion Filter (5.65 x 5.65", 1/8 Density)

The 5.65 x 5.65" Black Pearlescent Filter from Tiffen is a 1/8-step diffusion filter that can be applied to soften contrast and reduce image sharpness, resulting in a more flattering subject rendering by reducing the appearance of blemishes and softening highlights. This is particularly suitable for digital cinematography, as high-resolution cameras may be unforgiving. Additionally, it creates a slightly reduced pearlescent halo around highlights, which can further enhance a subject's appearance or produce a desired effect; note that this effect is less pronounced than the halo effect of a white pearlescent filter.
