Tiffen 46mm Soft FX 2 Filter

Professional Portrait Softening

The Tiffen 46mm Soft FX 2 Filter is a specialized tool designed to enhance portrait photography by subtly reducing the appearance of skin blemishes and wrinkles. Unlike standard diffusion filters, the Soft FX series utilizes an array of microscopic lenses to smooth textures and fine lines while preserving the overall sharpness of the image. This makes it an essential accessory for photographers seeking a flattering, natural look for their subjects.

ColorCore Technology and Precision

Constructed from high-quality optical glass, this filter ensures exceptional clarity and color fidelity. Tiffen employs its proprietary ColorCore technology, a process where the filter substrate is laminated between two pieces of optical glass and ground to a precise tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. The result is a durable, high-performance filter mounted in a precision metal ring for long-lasting reliability.

Versatile Diffusion Effects

The Grade 2 filter provides a moderate softening effect. While lower grades offer subtle smoothing, higher grades introduce a noticeable halation around highlights, adding a dreamlike quality to your shots. This 46mm version is perfect for compact lenses, providing professional-grade diffusion without sacrificing image integrity.
