The primary use of this filter is to create a soft-focus effect in photography and videography. It's ideal for portrait photography, commercial shoots, and landscape scenes, where it can add a dreamy, ethereal quality to images.
The filter works by scattering light using ring-shaped deformations on the filter surface. This reduces edge sharpness and contrast, creating a softening effect in the image.
The Softener No1 has larger and rougher ring-shaped deformations on the filter surface, arranged in a higher density. This results in a stronger softening effect compared to the Softener No0.5.

This translucent, soft-focusing filter is expertly crafted to diffuse light and create a delicate, ethereal quality in your images. By reducing edge sharpness and gently lowering contrast, the HOYA Softener No1 filter transforms ordinary scenes into captivating, dreamlike visions.
Perfect for both still photography and videography, this filter excels in a variety of settings.

Whether you're aiming to add a romantic ambiance to portraits or seeking to stylize commercial shoots, this filter ensures your subjects are portrayed in the most flattering light.
The technology behind the HOYA Softener No1 is as innovative as it is effective. Utilizing ring-shaped deformations that are meticulously arranged across the glass surface, this filter scatters incoming light to achieve its signature soft-focus look. The deformations are intentionally rougher and larger than those found in the Softener No0.5, and are densely packed to amplify the filter's impact.
Portrait photographers will find the HOYA Softener No1 particularly beneficial. It softens skin tones, diminishes the appearance of imperfections, and imbues each image with a stylized, sophisticated feel. When it comes to capturing the glow of cityscapes or the sparkle of night scenes, this filter allows light sources to radiate with an added brilliance, creating a magical, luminous effect.
Landscape photographers are not left behind; the filter's ability to conjure a dreamy atmosphere can transform any natural vista into a scene straight out of a fairy tale. With the HOYA 82mm Creative Softener No1 Glass Filter, your creative vision is the only limit to the enchanting worlds you can create through your lens.
