Tiffen 4x5.65" Softnet White 1 Filter

Why settle for ordinary when you can capture extraordinary with the Tiffen 4x5.65" Softnet White 1 Filter This high-quality, durable filter is a modern take on the classic "net" diffusion filters, which have been used for decades to create flawless, youthful portraits.

Crafted by Tiffen, a reputable brand renowned for its superior photography equipment, this Softnet filter is designed to offer a unique effect on your images. It features a special fine net, laminated between clear optical glass, which has a greater impact on small details like wrinkles and skin blemishes, while preserving the overall sharpness of the image.

The clear spaces in the mesh allow light to transmit unchanged, maintaining the image's sharp appearance. However, light striking the flat surface of the net lines is either reflected or absorbed. This light-colored mesh reflects enough light to tint shadows, either making them lighter to lower contrast, or adding its color, while leaving highlight areas untouched.

The diffusion effect is produced by 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 otherwise retains an overall, relatively sharp appearance.

Versatile and easy to use, the Tiffen 4x5.65" Softnet White 1 Filter is an affordable solution for photographers and cinematographers looking to enhance their work. Whether you're shooting portraits, landscapes, or cinematic scenes, this filter adds a touch of magic to your images, making them stand out in a crowd.
