Tiffen 4x5.65" Softnet White 3 Filter

Discover the transformative power of Tiffen's 4x5.65" Softnet White 3 Filter, a high-quality, durable, and efficient tool for photographers and cinematographers. This versatile filter, a modern rendition of the classic "net" diffusion filters, is designed to enhance your portrait photography by subtly softening light and reducing harsh shadows.

Crafted from fine net material laminated between clear optical glass, the Softnet White 3 Filter is specifically engineered to have a greater impact on minute details, such as wrinkles and skin blemishes, while preserving the overall sharpness of the image. The unique design allows the clear spaces in the mesh to transmit light unchanged, ensuring the integrity of your image's sharpness.

The Softnet White 3 Filter's light-colored mesh reflects light to subtly tint shadows, lowering contrast and adding a soft, flattering hue to your images. This effect is achieved without altering the highlight areas, ensuring a balanced and visually pleasing result.

The true magic of this filter lies in its ability to refract 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 process has a proportionately greater effect on finer details than on larger image elements, resulting in a portrait where wrinkles and blemishes are less visible, yet the overall image retains its sharp, detailed appearance.

The Tiffen 4x5.65" Softnet White 3 Filter is a reliable choice for photographers and cinematographers seeking to elevate their portrait work. Its high-quality construction and efficient design make it a versatile addition to any photography kit.
