Tiffen Soft Contrast 3 Filter with 105mm Coarse Thread

Tiffen Soft Contrast 3 Filter with 105mm Coarse Thread | 105CSC3

A 105mm filter this size doesn’t hide in your bag ? it demands attention on the front of a wide-angle cinema lens. The coarse threading on Tiffen’s Soft Contrast 3 makes mounting quick and positive, even with cold fingers or thick gloves on set.

• Soft Contrast 3 density reduces edge sharpness without halation or flaring ? a subtle glow that preserves detail in highlights
• 105mm coarse thread designed for fast matte box swaps; less cross-threading and smoother grip than standard fine threading
• Optical glass construction with Tiffen’s ColorCore lamination process for consistent filtration from shot to shot
• Reduces contrast selectively ? shadows lift just enough to hold detail, while midtones and highlights retain natural separation

Primarily aimed at DP’s and gaffers who want a subtle, repeatable look on RF mount or PL mount glass, this filter is a workhorse for narrative and commercial work alike. It’s not a diffusion bomb ? it’s a controlled, gentle reduction in contrast that feels organic rather than processed. Build it into your kit for studio interiors, overcast exteriors, or any scene with harsh lighting that needs taming without losing texture.
