The Tiffen 95mm Coarse Thread Low Light Ultra Contrast 1 Filter can be applied to purposely increase detail within shadow regions while photographing an image or while recording video under low-light conditions. By distributing ambient illumination to darker areas within a scene, this filter is also useful in helping to uniformly balance the tonal range among highlights and shadows. Overall contrast is reduced while flare and halation around highlights is purposely limited.

This filter has a grade of 1. Grades of 2, 3, and 4 are also available where this filter type's effect becomes approximately twice as strong with each grade number increase.

This filter is 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.

Q: 3. Does it have a, outgoing HDMI port?I plan to use it with a Blackmagic Ultrastudio mini recorder for livestream session.

A: Well, I was very surprised today when I tried to both record in 4k and use the HDMI out to live stream into a Sling camera link. The HDMI goes dark as soon as the record button is pressed! On a hunch, I switched record mode from 4k to 1080p, and it worked. And the HDMI out is a micro HDMI, not mini. I had to buy a special cable to connect to the Sling wireless camlink. I really need the 4k recording because it's a stationary camera that usually needs lots of cropping in post. The manual says nothing about this limitation.
