B + W 49mm Basic Soft Pro Filter

You can capture stunning, high-quality photos with the 49mm Basic Soft Pro Filter by B + W, a renowned brand in the world of photography equipment. This durable and easy-to-use filter is designed to enhance your images with a unique soft focus effect, adding a touch of romance and gentleness to your shots.

The filter works by distributing small mini-lenslets randomly on a precisely plano-parallel glass disc. These lenslets scatter the light entering your camera, overlaying the sharp core image with hazy, diffuse halos. This innovative design allows for the opening up of deep shadows, while the highlights form a shimmering aura in the darker surroundings, without being overly blurred.

Ideal for both portrait and landscape photography, this versatile filter is a favorite among professionals, including Hollywood filmmakers, for achieving perfect beauty shots. It effectively reduces high contrasts and softens light fringes in the backlight, giving your photos a dreamy, ethereal quality that is hard to achieve with image-processing software alone.

The 49mm Basic Soft Pro Filter also gently covers up skin blemishes in portrait shots, ensuring that details like eyelashes remain sharp and clear. For optimal results, it is advised to use a lens with a focal length not less than 24 mm with full frame or 18 mm with APS, and not setting the aperture smaller than f/16.

Experience the difference in your photography with the 49mm Basic Soft Pro Filter, and let your images tell a story that's softly overlaid with unsharpness, yet filled with captivating details.
