Undoubtedly one of the leaders in filter technology and quality with Emmy & Academy Award winning technology, Tiffen aims to improve upon its already favorable rank in the market with their newest venture.
The new NATural ND, named after Tiffen founder Nat Tiffen, “maintains true color fidelity and produces outstanding image quality.” The NATural ND’s provide unsurpassed neutrality in the visual and IR spectrum, resulting in true color fidelity and ultimate image quality.
[REWIND: HERE’S WHY YOU SHOULD USE AN ND FILTER FOR YOUR PORTRAITS]
Representing a breakthrough in ND and IRND filtration, the NATural Neutral Density filter line allows complete control of light for the perfect exposure, as well as superior performance in the visual and IR spectrum. These technological advancements make the NATural’s the ideal choice for cinematic and photographic production.
The new filter uses Tiffen’s ColorCore® Process to laminate the filter, resulting in unmatched durability and ensuring the integrity of the filtration. Tiffen guarantees unparalleled image quality and ensures the effect will not scratch off or fade when exposed to harsh lighting conditions overtime. One of the main benefits is that the NATural ND maintains authentic skin tones without washing out the image.

What’s with the nutty aspect ratios / sizes? Are these intended for video or medium format? Would stills FF shooters use these?
4 x 5.6 is sort of what we’d need in an ND *grad* (4×6), but without a grad effect it doesn’t need the extra length i.e. it should be square.
Straighten me out here?
4×5.650 is the standard size for Motion Picture/Television matteboxes. The introduction sizes were intended for cinematography, while screw in (ring) and 4×4 sizes for the photography market will be available later in the year.
They are coming out with a 4×4 later this year.
