Tiffen 72mm Soft FX 5 Filter

Professional Portrait Enhancement with the Tiffen 72mm Soft FX 5 Filter

The Tiffen 72mm Soft FX 5 Filter is a specialized tool designed for portrait photographers seeking to achieve a flattering, cinematic look. By utilizing an array of microscopic lenses distributed across the filter surface, it effectively softens fine lines, blemishes, and wrinkles while preserving the underlying image sharpness. This Grade 5 version offers the most pronounced effect in the series, making it ideal for creative diffusion and stylized portraiture.

Advanced Diffusion and Halation

Unlike standard diffusion filters, the Soft FX series maintains critical detail while introducing a gentle glow. At the Grade 5 level, users can expect a noticeable halation effect around highlights, adding a dreamlike quality to the composition. This makes it an excellent choice for both high-key studio work and outdoor lifestyle photography where light management is key.

Precision Manufacturing and ColorCore Technology

Tiffen filters are engineered for durability and optical excellence. This filter is manufactured using ColorCore technology, a proprietary process where the filter substrate is laminated between two pieces of high-quality optical glass. Each filter is ground flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch and mounted in a precision-machined metal ring to ensure consistent performance and color fidelity.
