TIFFEN ULTRA CONTRAST
The Tiffen Ultra Contrast filter set reduces overall scene contrast by lifting shadow detail without significantly affecting highlights or image sharpness. Unlike a Black Pro-Mist, Ultra Contrast does not create visible halation or blooming around light sources, making it a useful tool when the goal is to retain more information in the shadows while preserving a clean image.
