The Tiffen 6.6x6.6" Black Satin 1/4 Filtercan be applied to purposely reduce the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles while providing an intentional warming effect with granularity over an entire image. This can be useful for creating a more flattering result of a subject while highlights are softened, contrast is reduced, and textures are given a smoother appearance. Additionally, halations around highlights are created which can further enhance a subject's appearance or produce a desired effect while overall sharpness is maintained.

This filter has a grade of 1/4. Grades of 1/8, 1/2, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are also available where this filter type's effect becomes approximately twice as strong with each grade number increase.

This filter is constructed from water white glass for increased clarity as well as color fidelity. It is made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass and grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch.

Q: 1. Can this lens be used for all Fuji?

A: The Leica E49 UVa II Filter would be compatible with all lenses that have 49mm filter threads on the front of the lens. Fujifilm lenses come with a variety of different filter thread sizes, so the Leica E49 UVa II Filter will not fit on all Fujifilm lenses. Check the filter thread size used on the lens you own or plan to purchase to ensure it uses 49mm filters.
