The Tiffen 49mm Soft FX 1/2 Filter is a specialized diffusion tool designed to enhance portrait photography by subtly reducing the appearance of skin blemishes and wrinkles. Unlike traditional diffusion filters that can muddy an image, the Soft FX series uses an array of tiny internal lenses to smooth textures while preserving overall sharpness and detail.
Advanced Optical Construction
This filter is manufactured using Tiffen's proprietary ColorCore technology. This process involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of high-quality optical glass and grinding the surface flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. The result is a filter that provides exceptional color fidelity and clarity, meeting the demands of professional cinematographers and photographers.
