By reducing contrast and sharpness slightly, skin details appear smoother and there is an increase in shadow detail. The effects of this filter are most significant when used for video applications as opposed to still photography. This filter provides more softening than the 4 density, but less than the 2 density.
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 1/10,000th of an inch. This filter measures 4 x 5.65"/ 101.6 x 143.5mm.
