Hoya 62mm Creative Softener No1 Glass Filter

Take your photography and videography to new artistic heights with the 62mm Creative Softener No1 Glass Filter from Hoya, a renowned brand in the world of high-quality photography equipment. This versatile and easy-to-use filter is designed to add a soft focus effect to your images, subtly reducing edge sharpness and contrast to create a captivating, dreamy atmosphere.

The Hoya Softener No1 is more than just a classic softening filter. It's an effective tool for enhancing the visual appeal of your subjects, making it an excellent choice for both portrait and commercial photography, as well as video production. With its unique soft focus feature, it allows people and objects to appear in a more charming and engaging way.

Compared to the Hoya Softener No0.5, the Softener No1 offers a stronger softening effect, creating a more pronounced and dramatic impact. This opens up new avenues for exploration and creativity, allowing photographers to experiment with the soft effect in various settings.

The softening effect of the Hoya Softener No1 is achieved through a unique technology that scatters light across the surface of the glass. This is facilitated by ring-shaped deformations, randomly arranged across the filter's surface. These deformations are rougher and larger in size compared to the Softener No0.5, and are arranged in a higher density, contributing to the filter's stronger softening effect.

Primarily recommended for portrait photography, the Hoya Softener No1 enhances the skin texture of the model, subtly hiding unwanted details and adding a stylized look to the overall image. However, its versatility extends beyond portraits. It's equally effective in creating a dreamy atmosphere in landscape photography and making light sources shine brighter in illumination scenes.

In essence, the 62mm Creative Softener No1 Glass Filter from Hoya is a durable and high-quality tool that can add a unique artistic touch to your photography and videography projects.
