Tiffen Soft/FX 1 72 mm Filter


The Tiffen Soft/FX 1 72 mm Filter can be used to intentionally reduce the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles in portraits or to apply a general blur effect whilst maintaining overall sharpness. A set of small lenses distributed across the surface of this filter smooths 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 of 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 grade numbers are applied, a halo effect around bright areas can be created to further enhance the appearance of a subject or produce a desired effect.
This filter is constructed from optical glass for clarity as well as colour fidelity. It is manufactured using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass and grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, then mounting on precision metal rings.
