Tiffen 58mm Soft/FX 3 Filter


The Tiffen 58mm Soft/FX 3 Filter can be used to intentionally reduce the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles in portraits or to apply a general softening effect whilst maintaining overall sharpness. A series 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 3. Grades of 1/2, 1, 2, 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 grade numbers are applied, a halation effect around highlights can be created to further enhance the appearance of a subject or produce a desired effect.
This filter is made from optical glass for optimal clarity and colour fidelity. It is designed using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass and grinding it flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, before mounting it on precision metal rings.
