Combining three distinct effects within a single filter, the Tiffen 4x5.65" IRND 1.2 Digital Diffusion FX 3 Filterfrom Tiffen 4x5.65" IRND 1.2 Digital Diffusion FX 3 Filteroffers a 4 stop exposure reduction, attenuates infrared wavelengths, and slightly softens skin details and textured backgrounds. Intended for use with high definition video capture with CMOS and CCD sensors, this filter compensates for the extended red sensitivity of these sensor designs in order to produce cleaner, more accurate colors and also takes the over-sharpened "digital edge" off for a smoother image quality. The filter is constructed from water white optical glass for maintained clarity and measures 4 x 5.65" / 101.6 x 143.5mm to pair well with lightweight or clip-on matte boxes.

Parameters
Size	4 x 5.65" / 101.6 x 143.5 mm
Front Accessory Thread / Bayonet	No
Filter Material	Glass

Alleviating the need to use multiple filters at once, this filter combines three distinct effects to reduce the number of filter surfaces in use.

IRND 1.2 filter offers a 4 stop exposure reduction to permit working with longer shutter speeds or wider aperture settings than normally required.

Infrared attenuating design is proportionate to the neutral density value, and helps to ensure clean, accurate colors and true blacks.

Digital Diffusion/FX effect softens skin details and textured backgrounds for a smoother image quality.

No. 3 diffusion strength provides the most amount of softening, and is greater than the 2 strength.

Well-suited to high definition video applications where an over-sharpened "digital look" is undesirable.

Diffusion design remains invisible when lens is stopped down for greater versatility in exposure control.

Constructed from water white optical glass for maintained image quality.

Measures 4 x 5.65" / 101.6 x 143.5mm and is ideally suited for use with lightweight clip-on matte boxes.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Would this lens as well as the other Pro prime lenses be too heavy for the PEN bodies?

A: I don't find this lens or the Oly 25mm f/1.2 PRO lens to be too large or too heavy for my Pen-F. I also use the 12-100MM f/4 PRO on the Pen-F and think that maybe this lens is about at the limit of size and weight for this body. I do prefer to use the Olympus ECG-4 Grip for the Pen-F, which I do not believe detracts from the compact size or appearance of the camera, but markedly improves handling with these larger PRO lenses.

Q: 2. Will the 17mm f/1.2 Pro work in ProCapture Low mode?

A: Yes this lens can work in Pro Capture Low Mode when shooting with the OM-D E-M1 Mark II.

Q: 3. Is the manual focus ring on this lens different from other Olympus pro lenses? The one I have is not as smooth as my 45mm f1.2

A: We are not sure if you mean tactical or function smoothness. All the lenses made by Olympus have very similar grip so they should all feel about the same. If manually focusing the movement of the ring is not smooth, you might consider exchanging your lens if you just purchased it.

Q: 4. Is it Made in Japan like the other Pro lenses?

A: According to the information we have, our current inventory's Country of Origin is Japan. Please be aware this can change over the product's production life without notice.

Q: 5. Will this lens work well on a Nikon D7000?

A: The Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L lens is only compatible with Canon EOS cameras. It is not compatible with Nikon DSLRs such as the D7000, nor is there an adapter carried by B&H that would allow the lens to be mounted on a Nikon DSLR.

Q: 6. What are the best uses for this lens?

A: A 50mm is perfect for some people while others prefer the 35mm for general all around photography. A 50mm is great for portraits, closeup as well as environmental. The f1.2 isolates the subject incredibly well and this lens really has a 3-dimensional pop. Its the lens Id be buried with probably. You cant go wrong with it and every photographer needs a fast 50mm.

Q: 7. is this a auto lens ?

A: Yes this lens has autofocus capabilities.

Q: 8. Does this lens support the OM-1 Focus Stacking setting?

A: Yes, the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 17mm f/1.2 PRO Lens supports the OM-1 Focus Stacking setting.

Q: 9. Where is it made?

A: This lens is made in Thailand.

Q: 10. What is the return policy on the lens should I decide not to keep it?

A: You have 30 days from the original purchase date to opt to contact our Customer Service Department to set up a return/exchange on your purchase. See the link below for our official return/exchange policies page:http://bhpho.to/dwKxxg

[Glass] I bought it for video to have smoother images but I discovered that I also like it very much for portrait photography to smooth skin without having the dreamy halo effect. To my taste, the effect is very subttle, though... 5

[Glass] Most photographers use at least one diffusion filter for portraits, whether a professional whose clients need to look great, or the rest of us who want to flatter Granny at her 90th birthday celebration party. I have kids with iffy complexions in their adolescence and didn’t want to rely too heavily on Photoshop for the fix. For use on my Quattro DP2, this filter does a fine job of holding small details like eyelashes, yet blends blemishes well. (One caveat: a large blackhead or dark pimple may be accentuated, depending on circumstances, so a white diffusion filter or dab of concealer could be needed.) Since the eyes and lashes/eyebrows hold their detail portraits can be very flattering with this Tiffen product. It looks odd by itself as it appears to be glass with a pattern of little black marks all over it, where I more or less expected some type of black screen or grid. Not being an optical engineer and as well as the filter works, I chalk it up to FM. Also, I prefer to use Tiffen products in general as they have always be good quality, competitively priced, and made in the good ol’ U. S. of A.; what’s not to like? 5

[Glass] I got this to reduce the jaggies in video on my 6d. It does not totally eliminate them, but it definitely improves them. I haven't yet used this for portraits, but that's in the cards. when I started using this, I got the general veiling that you expect from one of the mist filters. I was disappointed. However, then I cleaned the filter thoroughly. Much much better. I think this is going to work out nicely. I bought another one for a different lens. When I pulled it from the package, it was pretty dirty, too. So my advice is to thoroughly clean your filters. You'll be amazed. 5

[Glass] If you're looking at this filter you likely already know what it is for, and sure enough it does exactly what Tiffen say. Optical resolution drops down but contrast loss and halation are kept to an absolute minimum. Strangely, if you look at Tiffen's triangle of diffusion diagram you'll see they put this filter halfway between resolution reduction and halation, implying you will get some soft highlight spreading. You absolutely do not and I don't know why that particular diagram suggests it when all their text and videos say it doesn't cause halation and, as I said, in use it certainly does not. Allegedly on wide-angle shots or when using very small apertures you may see the black dots in the image. I can't say I've noticed this myself, but I only use this for shoulder-up shots, typically 50mm, often at fairly wide apertures, so I'm not in that 'danger zone'. If you want to shot wide and stopped down, maybe take caution and check out the Digital Diffusion/FX instead, which is meant to cause the same resolution drop without the black dots getting in the way. I've had some limited experience with some Tiffen filters having poorly-cut threads, but otherwise the construction quality has been fine. Can't guarantee you'll get a faultless one but the fault rate, in my experience, has at least been very low – about one out of twenty filters having an issue, and even then, not one severe enough to stop the filter from mounting and functioning. 5

[Glass] Probably my favorite of this series - I have the series in 72mm. Nice to use on any blonde/fair skinned person. Afternoon shots in overcast days in the #1 is good as well! 5

[Glass] I bought this filter for HDSLR video use. The 1/2 grade provides a very subtle diffusion effect with minimal contrast loss. Ultimately, it takes the edge off of HDSLR video and provides a very close alternative to that elusive film look. 5

David	22/07/2024
[Glass] Totally awesome! Pretty much the closest filter to the Alexa look! Very subtle, doesn't affect colors, and attenuate skin blemishes while retaining overall sharpness. Perfect to refining the cinematic look of your digital camera! This filter is always on my lenses as my default look. 5

[Glass] I bought the filter for two specific shoots. Both went well and I have no complaints. I used the filter on my 77mm Canon 17-40mm L for shoots early morning and late evening in the Fall Colors and the results were fantastic. Would recommend to others. Didn't find anything I didn't like. 5
