The Tiffen Softnet Black 2 4 x 4" Filter is a softening filter designed to reproduce the effect of a silk veil placed in front of the lens to soften or diffuse light. This filter works by dispersing light entering the lens through a mesh pattern, creating a soft, even glow. The black designation helps to maintain the overall contrast of the scene by reducing overall light diffusion into the shadows. Density 2 provides more softening than 1, but less than 3.

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


Features:

- Simulates the effect of fabric placed in front of the lens to soften the overall image quality.
- The black designation helps to maintain overall contrast and restore density in darker areas of the image.
- The mesh pattern helps to disperse light and smooth fine textures.
