Tiffen 4x4 #56 Light Green Glass Filter

Light Green Filter for Contrast Control

The Tiffen 4x4 #56 Light Green Glass Filter is a camera accessory built from high-quality optical glass. It absorbs specific wavelengths, particularly blue and red, to deepen shadows and brighten highlights in monochrome imagery. Photographers seeking precise contrast adjustments without sacrificing overall brightness will find this filter suitable for professional and hobbyist use alike. Its durable construction ensures reliable performance across various shooting conditions.

Upgrading from Unfiltered or Coloured Alternatives

This filter replaces shooting without filtration or using general-purpose coloured filters that lack the #56 density. The jump is worth it when you need to eliminate green-brown graph lines while copying charts or require targeted contrast enhancement for black-and-white work. The optimised filter factor provides subtle exposure control that standard filters cannot match, delivering professional-grade results for specialised lighting scenarios.

Verify Filter Holder and Workflow Compatibility

Before ordering, confirm your filter holder or matte box accepts 4x4 inch glass filters. Ensure your shooting workflow involves monochrome capture or chart reproduction where blue and red wavelength absorption is beneficial. This accessory is not for photographers who need neutral density reduction, polarisation effects, or colour correction for standard colour photography.
