Ill hold onto it as it still is flattering on some

I was looking to soften my Tamron 35mm 1.8 a hair and i think the 1/2 is a little much but i did not see the 1/4 or 1/8th avail on Adorama's website. Ill hold onto it as it still is flattering on some. I haven't tested enough but also i'm not sure if using it is compromising the auto focus.

Tiffen 72mm Soft/FX 1/2

One of the most reliable names in the filter business gives us several excellent choices for mitigating the "digital curse" of our images. I use this as one of my go-to filters for closeups.

Good "soft".

I use it with Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM mounted on my Rebel XSi and EOS-3. Soft effect is as expected.
