The Tiffen 4 x 4" Soft/FX 3 filter diffuses harsh light entering the lens and produces a halation effect. Although the resulting image appears softer and more ethereal, there is little loss of clarity or detail. This filter works by diffusing light entering the lens with small aberrations; by distributing light more evenly, a soft halo is created rather than the sharp, well-defined image when shooting without a filter. Density 3 provides more softening than density 2, but less than density 4.

Tiffen filters are made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass and grinding it to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. This filter measures 4 x 4" / 101.6 x 101.6 mm.


Features:

- The diffusion filter imparts an ethereal quality to photographs, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.
- The soft image quality does not compromise overall image detail.
- Light entering the lens is diffused by small aberrations, creating a soft halo rather than a sharp, well-defined image when shooting without a filter.
