[Glass] Great All-Rounder filter, this one doesn't leave my lens unless otherwise!

[0.135 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.

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

[0.135 lb] Vey happy with this tiffen filter. Heard great things and I'm doing great things with it. It was back ordered, but the wait was well worth it thanks guys!!

[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.

[0.135 lb] I love this filter

[0.135 lb] 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.

[0.135 lb] 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.

[0.135 lb] Black satin is one of my favorite diffusion filters and I think it looks great with digital sensors.
It will bloom the highlights so you need to be careful in that regard but I think the black satin does a good job of not smearing the image too much while making skin look smoother.
I would recommend taking a look at the sample footage from Tiffen before using to get an idea of how the filter affects the image.
The only thing I would say is I wish B&H had the 1/2 black satin available in the store as well so that people could actually compare the product before buying.

[Glass] 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....
