Tiffen 3 Cranberry Hard-Edge Graduated Filter – 4 x 5.65 Horizontal | 4565CR3HH

You shoot sunrise landscapes. Or golden-hour portraits where the sky matters as much as the subject. That’s exactly where a hard-edge graduated neutral density filter earns its place in your kit. The Tiffen 3 Cranberry brings subtle warmth and contrast, lowering exposure on the brighter half of the frame?clearly, with that hard edge?while letting the shadow detail sing. It’s not just a tool for evening out exposure; it tints highlights a delicate rosy hue that gives coastal scenes and prairie skies a natural, film-like glow.

• Hard-edge transition ? A crisp, defined boundary separates the filtered and unfiltered areas, perfect for scenes with straight horizons like ocean sunsets or mountain ridges.
• Three-stop density ? Reduces light by three stops on the graduated portion, handling bright skies without washing out the foreground. You’ll hold detail in both ends of the frame.
• Cranberry coloration ? Adds a subtle, warm rose tone to highlights. Think early morning light or a dusky horizon?natural warmth that’s hard to replicate in post.
• 4 x 5.65 horizontal format ? Fits standard 4×5.65 filter holders and matte boxes. The horizontal orientation aligns perfectly with landscape compositions.
• Solid glass construction ? Tiffen builds these from optical glass for clarity. They resist scratches and maintain color neutrality where it counts.

You’ll slide this filter into your system and adjust your composition?the hard edge lets you position the transition right along the skyline, not a pixel off. That’s control you can’t get from software. Whether you’re a location shooter or a studio artist who fakes daylight, the Tiffen 3 Cranberry keeps your highlights rich and your shadows open.
