The Tiffen 55mm Black Satin Filterhelps 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 filter also helps to subtly soften facial blemishes and wrinkles for a natural, refined look. The 1 density provides less contrast and highlight reduction than the 2, while still producing a soft, yet natural appearance.

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 to precision metal rings.

Q: 4. What size UV filter for What size UV filter for an '80s Canon AE1 w/a 50mm/1:18 Does anyone know? lens

A: Let me see if I can help you !On the business end of most lens, there will be a Greek symbol, next to some numbers. That is the size of the opening / threaded end and the size of the filter you will need. This is the thread size which means you can attach that size of filter directly.There are lots of other options available, such as step up adapters, and just as many opinions as to their functionality. Some specialty lenses do not accept filters, in which case you won't see any markings. Some believe that there will be a reduction in image quality if you use a filter. I will say that just as there is a difference in the glass quality in different lens, there is most certainly a difference in glass quality in filters too. For that reason, buy quality. Generally, the less you pay, the better the chance for a reduction in image quality there will be. UV filters are usually sold for protection but polarizers have a genuinely useful photographic purpose, reducing glare, surface reflections and increasing color saturation of the sky and some other surfaces as a side-effect.Good luck and I hope that helps!
