Tiffen 6.6x6.6" Satin 1/2 Filter
This Tiffen Satin 1/2 Filter measures 6.6x6.6 inches and is designed for cinematographers and photographers who want a flattering, ethereal look. It gently reduces the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles while softening contrast for professional portrait and film work.
Practical limits of the filter grade
The halation effect around highlights increases in strength with each grade number, so the 1/2 grade provides a subtle softening rather than a heavy diffusion. Users requiring stronger bloom or more pronounced texture smoothing would need a higher grade, while this density preserves overall image sharpness.
Water white glass with ColorCore construction
The filter is crafted from water white glass using ColorCore technology, laminating the substrate between two pieces of optical glass ground flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. This construction ensures optimal light transmission and color fidelity without unwanted color casts.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 1/2 grade or a different strength for my 6.6x6.6" filter?
The 1/2 grade provides a subtle softening effect; each grade increase roughly doubles the halation strength, so select based on how much diffusion you want.
What does the 1/2 grade actually do to the image when mounted?
It gently reduces blemishes and wrinkles, softens contrast and highlights, and adds a flattering halation while preserving overall sharpness.
How does the ColorCore construction affect light transmission and colour?
Water white glass laminated between optical glass ensures high light transmission and no unwanted colour casts.
