Tokina Cinema 4x5.65" SoftRes Diffusion Filter, 1/8 Strength

Be at the forefront of professional photography with the Cinema 4x5.65 SoftRes Diffusion Filter, 1/8 Strength. This high-quality, innovative diffusion filter is expertly designed by Tokina, a brand synonymous with superior photography equipment.

The SoftRes Diffusion Filter is crafted to enhance your images by subtly reducing high-frequency details such as wrinkles and skin blemishes, while leaving other areas of the image untouched. This creates a pleasing, softened effect that's ideal for portrait and nature photography.

Constructed with fine white particulate bonded between two pieces of Schott B270 Optical Glass, the SoftRes filter exceeds 4K resolution capability. The particulate size varies, ranging from slightly smaller to slightly larger than a pixel size. This variation alters the incoming light, resulting in a pleasing reduction in resolution with a slight effect on contrast.

Available in strengths of 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, and 1, the 1/8 strength is the most popular as it offers a subtle, almost unnoticeable reduction in resolution. This versatile filter gives you creative control of your image in-camera, allowing you to reduce high-frequency resolution, raise black levels, bloom highlights, or tailor a combination that is unique to your scene.

The SoftRes Diffusion Filter impacts three key areas of your image: Contrast, Halation, and Resolution. Tokina Cinema has analyzed data from thousands of feature films, commercials, TV shows, and independent productions to develop four basic filter types that replicate the vast majority of in-camera diffusion used today.

With the Cinema 4x5.65 SoftRes Diffusion Filter, 1/8 Strength, you can isolate the image attributes you want and take creative control with confidence. This durable, professional-grade filter is an essential tool for any photographer looking to enhance their craft.
