The Tiffen 55mm Black Satin 1/8 Filter for Photographyhelps 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 screw-in filter also helps to subtly soften facial blemishes and wrinkles for a natural, refined look.

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 on precision metal rings.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. will the haida filter system work with this filter atached?

A: You can attach the Haida filter holder to the outside filter threads on this filter (which are also 77mm), however we recommend the Tiffen Pro100 filter holder instead.a href= http://tiffen.com/pro100/ target= _blank http://tiffen.com/pro100//ahttps://a href= http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=tiffen+pro+100&N=0&InitialSearch=yes&sts=ma&typedValue=&Top+Nav-Search= target= _blank www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=tiffen+pro+100&N=0&InitialSearch=yes&sts=ma&typedValue=&Top+Nav-Search=/a

Q: 2. Is this filter compatible with the Fuji X100T?

A: If using the Fuji AR-X100 adapter, this filter can work with the X100T.

Q: 3. i need to buy a 77mm uv filter for a Tokina 11-16mm pro dx-II lens can I use a regular 77mm uv filter or do I need to buy the wide angle thin one for the wide angle lens. I know there a big difference in the prices. which one do I need to buy?

A: One doesn't need UV protection for a digital sensor. A good clear filter works well. (Nikon, B&W, e.g.)

Q: 4. Does this have external or internal threads? I need to screw it into an adapter.

A: Yes, it has front and back 67mm threads.

Q: 5. What accessories are best for cleaning this filter?

A: The Zeiss Compact Portable Lens Care System would be a good way to clean the filter and any other filters and lenses you have. http://bhpho.to/1bIaWKz

Q: 6. Will it fit the Nikon 24-120mm lens?

A: Sorry, I got it backwards, it's the newer lens that requires the 77 mm filter. Either way, you can use the 67 mm filter.

Q: 7. will this filter touch the glasson canon 16-35mm f4lis usm lens ?

A: We cannot test with every single lens available on the market, however when using this same lens in f/2.8 we had no issues.

Q: 8. Can I use it with a 52 mm kit lens? How?

A: In general, yes, but i will not recommend it. You need to buy an adapter and usually the cost of 52mm filter will be less compared to the combined of the two, and you may not be able to fit a hood and quality of the image will suffer.

Q: 9. I have a Nikon camera with the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II lens. The filter attachment size for this lens is 52mm but I have bought a couple other uv protective attachments that are described as 52mm and they don't fit/are too small and I'm not sure why and was just wondering if this product would fit my lens or not. Any feedback would be helpful, thanks!

A: 52mm is a standard size thread for lens filters, this should fit.

Q: 10. will this filter fit a xf100?

A: Round ('circular') filters are characterized by their thread diameter, so you should select those whose thread diameter is the same as that of your lens(es). (The thread diameter of your lens is NOT the same as its focal length!)

[0.095 lb] Good alternative to the more popular Black Pro-mist series. It gives off less halation but can still smooth out that digital sharpness.

[Glass] Not too much blooming, and just enough fuzziness to make a digital image more organic.

[Glass] I was looking for a super subtle diffusion filter; something that wouldn't result in overly glowy imagery. A borrowed 1/4 Promist and 1/4 Black Promist were both too extreme for my taste so I took a chance on this, and found it to be exactly what I was looking for. The diffusion is barely noticeable in most cases but very over exposed areas and fleeting specular highlights produce a beautiful, subtle bloom that's really wonderful.

[0.095 lb] 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.

[Glass] I have many filters that I've collected over the last few years.
This one is just fantastic. I double it up with the Tiffen Smoque 1 and it's probably my favorite combo. Instead of describing what my eyes see, I'll post a couple of screenshots for you to see for yourself. I also bought recently the 1/2 version, which I Iike even more.

[0.095 lb] it takes the digital sharpness of the skin and blooms out chromatic aberration in the lens highlight and the glow is consistent not over powering the image. i like to sometime think of it as my digital make up.
