Tiffen 3-Stop Antique Suede Round Solid Color Filter, 4.5 Inch | 412AS3

The deep taupe-brown surface has a subtle, tactile matte finish that feels almost like soft fabric. You don’t see the distortion of a clear glass filter?the Antique Suede tint is uniform and serene. It cuts three full stops of light, meaning you’ll often work at wider apertures or slower shutter speeds to get your exposure right.

• 3-stop neutral density reduces light by three full f-stops, letting you use slower shutter speeds or shallower depth of field in bright conditions.
• Antique Suede color tone adds a warm, muted sepia wash that’s popular for portrait and lifestyle work ? no need to color-grade later in post.
• Round solid glass in a 4.5-inch diameter fits most matte boxes used with cinema and high-end photo rigs: no step-up rings needed on standard 4×5.65 holders.
• Tiffen’s ColorCore lamination bonds the filter layer between two pieces of optical glass for durability and consistency, same as their pro-line cine filters.

Best suited for cinematographers or stills photographers who want a controlled, filmic look straight from the lens. The 4.5-inch size pairs well with large-diameter lenses and matte boxes designed for Super 35 and full-frame sensors. Whether you’re scoring a music video or softening a golden-hour portrait, this filter delivers the mood with no guesswork.
