Tiffen 5×5 Inch Green Soft-Edge Graduated 1 Filter | 5X5CGG1S

Shooting landscapes or outdoor portraits on a bright day often means fighting uneven light, but there’s another challenge: matching the color temperature of nature itself. That’s exactly where this filter steps in. A standard neutral density graduated filter will darken the sky, but it won’t handle the green cast from foliage, grass, or overcast light. The Tiffen 5×5 inch Green Soft-Edge Graduated 1 filter does both.

• Targeted color correction. It adds a subtle green tint directly into the graduated region, helping to neutralize warm highlights or match the ambient green of a forest scene without affecting the rest of the frame.
• Soft-edge transition. The graduation blends gradually from dense to clear, meaning that natural horizon lines ? trees, mountains, rooftops ? don’t get a harsh visible line. It looks like the scene you saw.
• Standard 5×5 inch size. Works with most professional matte boxes and drop-in filter holders, so there’s no adapter hassle. You slot it in and shoot.
• Light density control. The “1” grade provides a subtle 1-stop effect. Enough to take the edge off a bright sky or shift greens toward a more unified tone without making the shot look too heavy or artificial.
• Glass construction. Tiffen builds these from optical glass, not resin or plastic. It holds its shape clean, resists scratches, and doesn’t distort your image.

You’ll find it particularly useful when shooting woodland edges, golf courses, or any scene where the sky is brighter than the land but the light itself has a green quality. It’s a targeted tool for a specific problem ? and once you add it to your kit, you might start seeing green casts everywhere.
