Tokina Cinema 4x5.65" SoftRes Diffusion Filter, 1/2 Strength

What sets the Cinema 4x5.65 SoftRes Diffusion Filter apart is its sophisticated approach to image refinement. This premium diffusion filter is expertly engineered to selectively soften high-frequency details such as skin imperfections and fine lines, imparting a subtle, flattering effect on your subjects. The SoftRes filter achieves this by utilizing a meticulously crafted layer of fine white particulate matter, which is permanently embedded between two high-quality Schott B270 Optical Glass panels. This glass not only meets but exceeds the demands of 4K resolution, ensuring that your images retain exceptional clarity while benefiting from the filter's delicate touch.

The particulate size is carefully calibrated, ranging from just under to just over the size of an individual pixel. This strategic sizing is key to the filter's ability to modify the behavior of incoming light, resulting in a gentle reduction of resolution that enhances the image without compromising overall quality. The effect on contrast is minimal, preserving the natural depth and dimension of your footage.

Available in a spectrum of strengths, including 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, and 1, the SoftRes filter allows cinematographers to choose the degree of diffusion that best suits their project's needs. While the 1/8 strength is favored for its nearly imperceptible softening effect, the 1/2 strength option provides a more pronounced yet still refined alteration, ideal for those seeking a stronger aesthetic impact.

The Tokina Cinema Diffusion Filter line is the result of extensive research and analysis of visual trends in a multitude of productions, from blockbuster films to independent projects. This research has culminated in four principal filter types that encapsulate the most sought-after diffusion effects in the industry.
