The Antique Satin Filter smooths fine details like pores on the skin
while maintaining overall sharpness, without reducing contrast. It
prevents highlights from blowing out and shadows from loosing detail or
becoming overly cool and muddy looking—all while adding an overall warm
glow. Ideal for dark complexions, Antique Satin allows for a complete array of tones and full dynamic range.
Tiffen Optical Filters
Tiffen filters are manufactured using ColorCore™ technology, a
closely guarded proprietary process that entails permanently laminating
the filter material in between two pieces of optical glass that are
ground flat to tolerances of a ten-thousandth of an inch, then mounting
them in precision metal rings. The ColorCore process allows us to
control the color and density of Tiffen filters, and the characteristics
of special effects filters with much greater accuracy than typical
dyed-in-the-mass filters, which usually exhibit color and density
variations.
TIP HOW TO PROLONGING THE LIFE OF YOUR FILTERS
Filters, like all crafted optics, are susceptible not only
to breakage, but to premature aging caused by environmental factors. Most
filters are made up of several layers of materials consisting of glass, dyes,
optical cements, chemical compounds, particles etc. Even with protective
measures employed, there are many factors that can still affect the longevity
of the filter: moisture (prolonged exposure to humidity),
excessive heat and excessive light are the most common environmental causes
that can affect the filter’s chemistry over time.
To protect your filters and keep them in great working
condition for a long time (along with the rest of your camera gear) we
recommend making sure to keep the filters stored in a dark, cool, and dry place
when not in use. The use of filter pouches or specialized cases will also keep
your filters safe from breakage when not in use. If you are in a humid
environment, the addition of fresh silica gel packs or a dehumidifier in the
room they are stored is also highly recommended. Protecting your filters as you
would your camera lenses will ensure many years of use of your filters.
What do you recommend
cleaning filters with?
Hand
blower first, if it's just light dust, that usually handles it. If you need to clean further, a Kim Wipe
sprayed with Tiffen/Pancro Lens Cleaner, work in a circular motion from the
middle out.
