Tiffen 72GDFX12 72mm Gold Diffusion 1/2 Filter

• Takes Black Diffusion/FX a step further
• Adds soft, golden tint to shadows
• Infuses images with a special warmth
• Balances any mix of skin tones

The Tiffen 72mm Gold Diffusion/FX 1/2 Filter diffuses strong light entering the lens and produces a glowing effect.This filter works by diffusing the light entering the lens with small aberrations; by spreading the light more evenly, a soft glow is created rather than the sharp, well-defined image when shooting without a filter. In addition to the diffusion provided, a gold tint is also added to the image giving more warmth and helping to balance skin tones. This filter has a 1/2 density, providing a very small amount of softening. Tiffen filters are made using ColourCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and then mounting to precision metal rings.
