Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Effectively produces a smoky, hazy effect directly in-camera, enhancing atmospheric visuals.
  • Eliminates the need for artificial smoke machines or post-production effects to achieve a smoky look.
  • Utilizes Tiffen's ColorCore Technology, ensuring consistent quality and optical performance.
  • The Smoque 2 intensity offers a distinct level of haze for creative photographic and videographic applications.
  • Allows for immediate visual feedback of the smoky effect through the viewfinder or live view.

👎 Cons

  • The 72mm diameter may require step-up or step-down rings for lenses with different filter threads.
  • The "Smoque 2" effect might be too intense for some desired aesthetic outcomes, offering less subtlety than other filters.
  • Primarily designed for a specific artistic effect, limiting its general-purpose use compared to UV or polarizing filters.
  • Once applied, the smoky effect is permanent to the image captured and cannot be removed in post-processing if undesired.
  • Using this filter will reduce the amount of light entering the lens, potentially affecting exposure settings and requiring adjustments.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Tiffen 72mm Smoque 2 Filter is designed to produce a distinct smoky, hazy effect directly in the captured image.
No, this filter eliminates the need for artificial smoke, generating the smoky effect optically within the camera system.
ColorCore Technology is Tiffen's proprietary manufacturing process that involves laminating filter materials between two pieces of optical glass, ground flat to a tight tolerance, and then mounting them in metal rings. This ensures consistent color and density.
This Tiffen Smoque 2 filter has a diameter of 72mm.
The "Smoque 2" indicates a fixed intensity level for the haze effect; the filter itself does not offer adjustable intensity. Different Smoque filter strengths would be required for varied effects.
Filters that introduce haze or diffusion often reduce the amount of light passing through the lens, so you may need to adjust your exposure settings to compensate when using the Smoque 2 filter.
