Tiffen 49mm Soft FX 3 Filter

Professional Portrait Softening with Tiffen Soft FX 3

The Tiffen 49mm Soft FX 3 Filter is a specialized tool designed for portrait photographers and cinematographers who need to minimize skin imperfections without sacrificing image clarity. By utilizing an array of microscopic lenses, this filter diffuses fine lines and wrinkles while preserving the underlying sharpness of the subject.

Moderate Softening and Halation

As a Grade 3 filter, it offers a moderate softening effect, striking a balance between subtle correction and a dreamlike aesthetic. At this level, users may notice a slight halation around highlights, adding a classic cinematic glow to the frame. This makes it ideal for close-up shots where a flattering skin tone is essential.

Advanced ColorCore Technology

Each filter is manufactured using Tiffen's proprietary ColorCore technology. This involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass, grinding it to a precise tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and mounting it in a durable metal ring. This ensures consistent color fidelity and long-term reliability.

• Flattering Portraits: Softens skin textures and reduces the visibility of blemishes.
