Tiffen 40.5mm Soft FX 1/2 Filter

Professional Portrait Diffusion

The Tiffen 40.5mm Soft FX 1/2 Filter is a specialized tool designed for portrait photographers who require a subtle touch of diffusion. By utilizing an array of microscopic lenses, this filter effectively smooths out skin textures and reduces the visibility of blemishes and wrinkles. Unlike standard diffusion filters, the Soft FX series is engineered to maintain overall image sharpness while providing a more flattering aesthetic for your subjects.

Advanced ColorCore Technology

Tiffen filters are manufactured using their proprietary ColorCore technology. This meticulous process involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of high-quality optical glass, which is then ground flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. This ensures exceptional color fidelity and clarity, making it a reliable choice for professional environments.

Subtle Grade 1/2 Effect

The 1/2 grade offers the most delicate effect in the Soft FX range. It provides a gentle softening of fine lines without creating heavy halation around highlights, unless used in high-contrast lighting. This makes it ideal for close-up beauty shots where natural results are paramount.
