Tiffen’s Pearlescent Filters create a subtle new look with a slight
softening of contrast and a luxurious Pearlescent halo around
highlights. These new filters aid cinematographers in taking the edge
off the image from modern lenses and cameras, especially with 4K
acquisition sensors. This increase in sharpness and contrast can be
overpowering when shooting talent or environments that do not require as
much intense detail, and it’s here where Tiffen’s Pearlescent filter
look comes into its own.
This filter has a grade of 1/8. Grades of 1/4, 1/2, 1, and 2 are also
available where this filter type's effect becomes approximately twice as
strong with each grade number increase.
