The Tiffen 4 x 5.65" Low Contrast 1/4 Filter works to lessen
contrast across the image by creating a small amount of controlled flare
near highlight areas. This enables greater detail to be attained in
shadow regions, while unaffecting the values of highlights, in order to
produce lower apparent contrast. This filter is ideal for use during
midday and other high contrast lighting situations when it is difficult
to control both overexposed highlights and underexposed shadows. The 1/4
density provides less contrast adjustment than the 1/2 density but more than 1/8.
Tiffen filters are 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 10,000th of an inch.

- Lower contrast results in greater shadow detail when properly exposed.
- Works with surrounding ambient light
