Tiffen 138mm 1/4 Ultra Contrast Filter | 138UC14
Take control of contrast and shadow detail on large-diameter lens systems with the Tiffen 138mm 1/4 Ultra Contrast Filter. The Ultra Contrast series is designed to reduce overall image contrast by lifting shadow detail and slightly softening highlight intensity ? creating a more open, filmic tonal range that gives digital footage a richness and depth that mirrors the look of traditional film stocks. The 1/4 grade delivers a subtle but meaningful contrast reduction that improves shadow visibility without significantly altering the overall tone of the image.
At 138mm, this filter is designed for large-format cinema lenses and anamorphic optics that require a larger filter diameter. Tiffen’s ColorCore manufacturing ensures consistent neutral performance and optical clarity across the full 138mm filter surface, making it a trusted tool for high-end narrative and commercial cinematography.
