The Tiffen 4x5" Skyfire Graduated Filterhelps to specifically add a unique orange to yellow gradient to skies and other bright areas of an image while allowing a portion of the image to remain neutrally colored. The filter's coloring is densest at the edge and tapers to clear by the middle, with a soft-edged transition between the density and clear areas. The 2 color density provides less skyfire coloration than the 3 density, but more than the 1 density filter.

This filter 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. It measures 4 x 5" / 101.6 x 127mm.

Note: A horizontal orientation filter's line of transition runs parallel to the long side of the filter.

2 Density Color Graduated Filter    Orange to Yellow Gradient    Soft-Step Graduation    ColorCore Technology

Provides a unique orange to yellow gradient across half of the filter plane.

Graduated filter design keeps a portion of the image neutral, resulting in a more realistic look while allowing for the sky or other bright areas to take on the color of the density.

Q: 5. Does this camera have a hot shoe and if so does it work with pocket wizards? I looked in the specs and didn't see anything, and the image provided doesn't show the top of the camera. Thanks

A: No, the Toyo-View 4x5 45GII View Camera does not have a hot shoe. The camera has a accessory cold shoe on the top of the front standard, but the sync terminal for large format cameras are built into the lens. As such, you may place the PocketWizard in the cold shoe, but you would need a 1/8 (3.5 mm) miniphone to PC male sync cable to connect the PocketWizard to the PC sync terminal on your lens.
