The Tiffen Filter Wheel 3 Softnet Black 1 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 distinction helps to maintain the overall contrast of the scene by reducing the overall spread of light into shadows. This filter has a density of 1, providing slight softening.

Tiffen filters are manufactured using ColorCore technology, a process that laminates the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass and polishes it flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch.
