Tiffen 82mm Black Diffusion/FX 2 Filter 82BDFX2 - Softens Skin and Blemishes

The Tiffen Black Diffusion F/X 2 Filter is a high-quality soft focus filter. The Black Diffusion F/X creates a flattering image even in tight close-ups without sacrificing image clarity. This is an extremely advanced diffuser from Tiffen because it creates a diffused image that doesn't look like it's been shot through a filter. The filter produces a soft, smooth texture - perfect for portraiture.

Tiffen, a leader in the filter industry, proudly makes its filters in the USA.

Note! Black Diffusion F/X filters are available in grades from 1/4-5 with grade 5 having the greatest effect

ColorCore Technology

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 Tiffen to control the color and density of their 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

Superior Quality

Top Hollywood motion picture studios rely on Tiffen filters for their multi-million-dollar productions

Superior quality and design make Tiffen the overwhelming choice of moviemakers, professional photographers and even NASA

Tiffen has also been awarded an Emmy, from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, for its engineering excellence

From the manufacturer

Tiffen Black Diffusion/FX Filter

The Tiffen Black Diffusion/FX Filter diffuses strong light entering the lens and produces a glowing effect. While the resulting image appears softer and ethereal, there is little loss of clarity or detail. 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.

Tiffen filters are made using ColorCore 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.

Features

• Diffuser filter provides an ethereal quality to photographs, resulting in a dream-like atmosphere.
• Soft image quality does not detract from the overall detail of the image.
• Light entering the lens is diffused by small aberrations, creating a soft glow rather than the sharp, well-defined image when shooting without a filter.
• Proudly made in the USA

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.
