Filters are some excellent ways to improve your photographs in-camera. Some filters help to improve the colors, while others add interesting effects to make your work stand out. One of the companies whose filters we liked reviewing was Tiffen Company. Not only do their filters give images distinct appeal, but also they are cost-effective. As part of their initiative to make filters more effective, the Tiffen Company has announced a fusion filter for all your needs. Scroll below to know the details.
The new product line is called Fusion Filters, and it merges diffusion effects with cutting-edge Variable ND (VND) and Circular Polarizer (CPL) technologies. This helps photographers create cinematic images, and the screw-in technology eases the process of filter stacking.
The Tiffen filters come in two distinct styles: Black Pro Mist for softening and Glimmerglass for glamour and shine. When combined with VND and CPL filters, the new set offers photographs a controlled exposure, enhanced colors, and reduced reflections, all while maintaining the signature look that Tiffen filters are known for.
Key Features of Tiffen Fusion Filters:
- Black Pro-Mist + VND: This filter reduces highlights, lowers contrast, and softens facial lines, giving your images a smooth, cinematic appearance. It also offers up to 8 stops of light control, which is ideal for blurs and special effects.
- Glimmerglass® + VND: This one also provides a soft, radiant glow to highlights while improving the image with a subtle sparkle effect. One can control light up to 8 stops to create creating dreamlike visuals.
- Black Pro-Mist® + CPL: Like the VND, this will control highlights and contrast while increasing image depth and softening facial features. With CPL, one can also remove unwanted reflections, especially on glass and water. Furthermore, photographers can now enhance the sky’s blue color and details of the clouds.
- Glimmerglass® + CPL: Users will get bright highlights with a subtle sparkle, smooth facial lines, reduced reflections, and added contrast to clouds with this one.
Sizes and Densities:
The new Tiffen filters come in different sizes and densities. The Black Pro Mist + VND comes in 1/4 or 1 densities, while the Glimmerglass+ VND is available in 1/2 or 2 densities. The sizes are between 58mm and 82mm and are also compatible with step-up/step-down rings for added versatility.
Benefits:
- These Fusion filters have been created with ColorCore Technology and offer premium optical quality and performance.
- They have a 10-year warranty, which is great given their price tag of $69.99 to $119.99.
