The Tiffen 72mm Black Satin 1 Filter helps to reduce the overall contrast of an image and better control the highlights within a scene. In addition to rendering highlights with a grittier, more grainy appearance, this filter also helps to subtly soften facial blemishes and wrinkles for a natural, refined look. The 1 density provides less contrast and highlight reduction than the 2, while still producing a soft, yet natural appearance.

This filter is constructed from Water White glass and is made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and mounting to precision metal rings.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. I just bought a 60 mm Fujifilm macro lens and it has a bayonette mount at the front. Are there any protective filters that fit it (39 mm)?

A: I don't have this particular lens, but from looking at the spec sheet it appears that a regular 39 mm lens filter would work. I have used various sized filters for various Fuji lenses without problem. If you find that it doesn't work, b and h has great return policy, which I have used several times. Hope this helps.

Q: 2. Does this filter fit to x100v too? And does it need another adapter ring with x100v?

A: yes, this 49mm thread filter will fit on the X100v and you do need to attach the adapter to the lens first. Without the adapter the filter will cause a lens error.

Q: 3. How thick is the filter ring?

A: I don't have the proper tool to measure, but using a ruler the thickness of the outer rim appears to be 1mm. Is that the dimension Steve W. is looking for?I use this filter on a Fuji 27mm lens and another one on a Voigtlander 25mm.

Q: 4. Does this also work as a standard UV filter? Or is that something different?

A: The FUJIFILM 49mm Protector Filter Silver, B&H # FUPRF49S, is an optically clear standard protection filter. It does not have any UV coatings and is not designed to filter out UV light. If you are looking for a 49mm UV filter (as we do not have one from Fujifilm), the B+W 49mm UV Haze MRC 010M Filter, B&H # BWUVMC49, or the Hoya 49mm alpha MC UV Filter, B&H # HOUVA49, would instead work for your usage needs.

Q: 5. Does this fit the Fuji X20 model?

A: To use the Fujifilm 52mm Protector Filter, you will need to use an adapter ring, as you cannot directly attach filters to the Fujifilm X20 camera: http://bhpho.to/1k3j2Az

Q: 6. will this filter cause vignetting on the new XF 16-50 kit lens at 16mm?

A: At 16mm on the XF 16-50mm kit lens, the FUJIFILM 58mm Protector Filter won't cause vignetting.

Q: 7. do i need a separate filter adapter?

A: Nope...fits threads on the 23, 35 and 50mm f/2 lenses.

Q: 8. Any vignetting with the Fuji 10-24mm zoom lens? And does the Fuji lens hood for that lens still mount to this filter? (Hopefully Fuji made the accessories compatible...)

A: No the filter does not vignette, Yes the lens hood still attaches to the lens.

Q: 9. s9900w can use?

A: The FinePix S9900W does not list a 58mm filter thread to attach this filter. According to Fujifilm it will not be compatible.

Q: 10. Can this filter use it both sides? I have to install this filter reverse in order to use a different lens hood. Would there be same result?

A: This filter has front and back threads. And they are in reverse. So the back of the filter screws in to the lens and the front of the filter works with accessories that have a 49mm thread like some lens hoods.
