Tiffen 6.6x6.6" Softnet White 3 Filter

Enhance your photography and cinematography with the Tiffen 6.6 x 6.6 Softnet White 3 Filter, a modern rendition of the classic "portrait" diffusion filters. This high-quality, durable filter is designed to bring a youthful, flawless appearance to your subjects, making it an indispensable tool for portrait photographers and filmmakers.

Constructed with a special fine net laminated between clear optical glass, this versatile filter provides a nuanced effect 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 overall clarity and sharpness.

The Softnet White 3 Filter's unique design reflects or absorbs light striking the flat surface of the net lines. This light-colored mesh subtly tints shadows, either lightening them to lower contrast or adding its color, while leaving highlight areas untouched. This efficient process results in a softer contrast, adding depth and dimension to your images.

Moreover, the diffusion effect is produced by the refraction of light that grazes the edges of the mesh lines. This light is bent at a different angle, altering 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, reducing the visibility of wrinkles or blemishes while retaining the overall sharpness of the image.

The Tiffen 6.6 x 6.6 Softnet White 3 Filter, available in several densities, is a reliable choice for photographers and filmmakers seeking to add a touch of softness and refinement to their work. The higher the density number, the stronger the effect, offering you a range of options to suit your creative needs.
