Really liked how this looked. Combined it with a star filter over top to get a super retro look. Very cool!

Hey It?s a Hoya

By JAMES K.

Great filter for a portrait. Works as advertised

Enhance your photography with the precision-crafted 55mm Softener B Glass Filter, designed to deliver a graduated soft focus effect that transforms ordinary shots into ethereal masterpieces. This filter features a unique, random arrangement of micro-lenses, reminiscent of delicate water droplets, which scatter incoming light to create a mesmerizing, dreamlike quality in your images.

The graduated design of the Softener B Glass Filter ensures that the soft focus effect subtly fades, allowing for a seamless transition between the altered and original areas of your photo. This technique is particularly striking when capturing scenes with points of light, as it accentuates the glow and creates a magical atmosphere.

Color rendition with this filter is intentionally softened, yielding pastel tones that add a gentle, romantic touch to your photographs. The subtle hues enhance the mood without the need for post-processing color adjustments.

Crafted for convenience, the 55mm Softener B Glass Filter maintains the same exposure levels as your unfiltered shots, eliminating the need for exposure compensation. This allows photographers to focus on composition and creativity without worrying about technical details.

Available in two intensities, the mild (A) and strong (B), this filter caters to your creative preferences, whether you're looking for a slight diffusion or a more pronounced softening effect. The 55mm Softener B Glass Filter is compatible with a wide range of lenses, ensuring that photographers can achieve professional-quality results across various shooting scenarios.

Elevate your photographic artistry with the 55mm Softener B Glass Filter, an essential tool for those looking to add a touch of softness and a painterly quality to their visual narratives.
