THE POWER OF WARM DIFFUSION

Like the rest of Tiffen’s Emmy® & Academy Award®-winning filters, the Warm Diffusion’s are crafted in the USA with Water White glass. To promote a long life, only Tiffen filters are manufactured using the exclusive Colorcore® Process that laminates the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass, then grinds and polishes them to a precise tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch of flatness.



Three Distinct Warm Diffusion Filter Types

MAINTAINING DEEP COLORS • PRESERVING SHADOWS • ATMOSPHERIC GLOWS • MILD DESATURATION

Warm Diffusion Filter Tests

ANTIQUE
SATIN

The Antique Satin Filter smooths fine details like pores on the skin while maintaining overall sharpness, without reducing contrast. It prevents highlights from blowing out and shadows from losing detail or becoming overly cool and muddy looking—all while adding an overall warm glow.

ANTIQUE
PEARLESCENT

The Antique Pearlescent Filter offers the same unique skin-tone enhancements while creating a soft, pleasing atmospheric glow, along with a mild desaturation of colors and gentle creamy halation. This makes them optimum for period pieces or to create the look of a warm summer afternoon.

ANTIQUE BLACK
PEARLESCENT

Along with warm skin-tone enhancement, The Antique Black Pearlescent Filter uses a Black Pearlescent component to maintain deep blacks while preserving shadow detail, especially in the face. The result is a beautiful romantic softness without excessive halation or loss of contrast.

TESTIMONIALS

"I can’t begin to tell you how thrilled I am with this filter test we did today. Loved all of them... It definitely did what I was looking for without bringing up the blacks very much and not catching too much light."  

Steven Fracol, Director of Photography

They all had a romantic feeling without losing clarity - giving practicals and specular highlights a slight halation. On faces, they smoothed out complexions and enhanced mid-tones, while maintaining rich blacks." When it came to T-stop issues, Francis added, "They all looked spectacular from T2 to T4.

Francis Kenny, ASC

"Tiffen is giving us three new types of Warm Diffusion at just the right time when we are lensing the widest range of skin tones ever on screen. Each of the new filters has its own purpose and its own effect. Each tells a story in a different way."

Steven Poster, ASC
