Tiffen adds Soft Glow, Black Soft Glow, and Golden Glow filters

The Tiffen Company has added the new Glow Series to its well-regarded line of diffusion effects lens filters.

When paired with digital cameras, the Soft Glow, Black Soft Glow, and Golden Glow filters are designed to maintain contrast for a natural appearance and take away the sharpness and sterility that can be associated with a digital look.

With eight grades, each set lets the cinematographer dial in a hint of halation with lighter strengths while heavier strengths provide a more pronounced effect, emitting a progressive, gentle glow from light sources. Black tones remain deep, and whites stay clean, says the company.

Billed as clean and subtle, the series flagship Soft Glow filter works its magic on subjects, landscapes and highlights in gentle degrees of precise application to the image. Meanwhile, the Black Soft Glows are also especially useful to help hold deep, dark areas of the frame without shifting colors, and the Golden Glow provides a slight warming effect, especially useful when it comes to specular highlights.

Each Glow filter type comes in standard MPTV as well as Screw-in and Magnetic sizes: 4x4, 6.6x6.6, 4x5.65, 39mm, 49mm, 52mm, 55mm, 58mm, 62mm, 67mm, 72mm, 77mm, 82mm in a choice of 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 densities. Special sizes and strengths are available upon request.

Tiffen Filters all come with a 10 Year Warranty. Soft Glow, Black Soft Glow and Golden Glow Filters are available now. Prices start at $75.
