Tiffen 6.6x6.6" Softnet Black 4 Filter

The Tiffen 6.6 x 6.6 Softnet Black 4 Filter is a professional-grade photography accessory, designed to enhance image quality and reduce unwanted glare. As a modern rendition of the classic "portrait" diffusion filters, this high-quality filter employs a fine net laminated between clear optical glass, providing a unique effect on minute details like wrinkles and skin blemishes, while preserving the overall sharpness of the image.

This durable filter is characterized by its ability to transmit light through clear spaces in the mesh, maintaining the sharp appearance of your photographs. The light that strikes the flat surface of the net lines is either reflected or absorbed, subtly altering the image's contrast and color. The Softnet Black 4 Filter is particularly effective in tinting shadows, lowering contrast, or adding color, while leaving highlight areas untouched.

The true magic of this reliable filter lies in the refraction of light that grazes 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 phenomenon has a proportionately greater effect on finer details than on larger image elements, resulting in a face that retains an overall sharp appearance, with fewer visible wrinkles or blemishes.

The Tiffen 6.6 x 6.6 Softnet Black 4 Filter is available in several densities, with the higher density number indicating a stronger effect. This filter is an essential tool for professional photographers and videographers seeking to capture flawless, high-quality images.
