Tiffen 4x4" Softnet White 1 Filter

Enhance your photography and cinematography with the Tiffen 4x4" Softnet White 1 Filter, a high-quality, durable, and versatile tool designed to bring a soft, diffused light to your images. This filter, a modern incarnation of the classic "net" diffusion filters, is crafted from a special fine net laminated between clear optical glass, ensuring a robust and long-lasting product.

The Softnet White 1 Filter is specifically engineered to have a greater effect on small details, such as wrinkles and skin blemishes, subtly softening them while preserving the overall sharpness of the image. This is achieved through the unique design of the mesh, which allows clear spaces to transmit light unchanged, maintaining the image's sharp appearance.

The flat surface of the net lines either reflects or absorbs light, with a light-colored mesh reflecting enough to tint shadows, either lightening them to reduce contrast or adding its color. This leaves the highlight areas untouched, ensuring a balanced and professional result.

The true magic of this filter lies in the refraction of light that strikes the edges of the mesh lines. This light is bent at a different angle, changing its distance to the film plane and putting it out of focus. This effect has a proportionately greater impact on finer details than on larger image elements, resulting in fewer visible wrinkles or blemishes on a face that retains an overall sharp appearance.

The Tiffen 4x4" Softnet White 1 Filter is not only easy to use but also affordable, making it an essential addition to any photographer or cinematographer's toolkit. Whether you're capturing portraits, product photography, or any other type of image where a soft, diffused light is desired, this filter will help you achieve the perfect shot.
