Tiffen 5×5 Inch 3-Stop Yellow Soft Edge Graduated Filter | 5X5CGY3S

A graduated filter that actually does what it says. The Tiffen 5×5 Inch 3-Stop Yellow Soft Edge Graduated Filter lets you darken skies and balance exposure, but with a warm tint that’s more natural than heavy orange or colorless ND grads. The yellow hue adds subtle warmth without looking artificial.

• 3-stop density delivers two full plus one stop of light reduction across the graduated zone ? ideal for bright skies or bringing down highlights by a noticeable three stops
• Soft edge transition means no harsh line in your shot; the dark-to-clear fades gradually, perfect for landscapes with uneven horizons or when you’re not using a single straight boundary
• Yellow color cast warms up the scene naturally, especially helpful on overcast days or in shade for a slight glow that’s easy to correct or lean into later
• 5×5 inch film-style square fits standard matte boxes and lens holders with 5-inch slots, giving you quick rotation and placement control during shoots

You’ll reach for this filter when shooting golden hour portraits, coastal scenes with bright sea and sky, or any subject where you want to retain detail in clouds without losing a warm atmosphere. If you already use soft edge grads but need something with character beyond neutral, this one earns its spot in the kit.
