Tiffen 58mm Soft/FX 1 Filter

The Tiffen 58mm Soft/FX 1 filter can be used to intentionally reduce the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles in portraits or to apply a general artistic blur effect whilst maintaining overall sharpness. A set of small lenses distributed across the surface of this filter softens fine lines and textures, which can be useful for creating a more flattering result of the subject.
This filter has a grade of 1. Grades 1/2, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are also available, with the effect of this type of filter becoming approximately twice as strong with each increase in grade number. When higher grades are applied, a halo effect around bright areas can be created to further enhance the appearance of a subject or produce the desired effect.
This filter is made from optical glass for optimal clarity and colour fidelity. It is manufactured using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between two optical glass elements and polishing it flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, before mounting it in precision metal rings.
