B + W 82mm Basic Soft Pro Filter

Overcome the limitations of traditional photography with the 82mm Basic Soft Pro Filter from the renowned brand, B+W. This high-quality and durable filter is designed to deliver sharp images that are subtly overlaid with a soft unsharpness, creating a unique, dreamy effect.

The filter features numerous mini-lenslets, randomly distributed on a precisely plano-parallel glass disc. These lenslets scatter light, overlaying the sharp core image with hazy, diffuse halos. This innovative design technique opens up deep shadows, while the highlights remain sharp, forming a shimmering aura in the darker surroundings.

Ideal for both portrait and landscape photography, the Basic Soft Pro Filter reduces contrast and softens light fringes in the backlight, giving your photos a gentle, romantic character. Unlike other filters, the Basic Soft Pro Filter ensures that details such as eyelashes remain sharp, while skin blemishes are gently blurred.

This filter is not just a soft focus attachment; it's a tool used by professionals worldwide, including Hollywood filmmakers, to achieve perfect beauty shots. The unique effect it provides cannot be replicated with image-processing software such as Gaussian blur.

For optimal results, it is recommended 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. This ensures that the surface structure of the B+W Soft-Pro filter will not be depicted in the image, maintaining the desired soft focus effect.

In essence, the 82mm Basic Soft Pro Filter is a versatile, easy-to-use tool that enhances your photography, adding a unique touch to your images.
