The Cinema 4x5.65 SoftRes Diffusion Filter is designed to enhance image quality by subtly reducing high-frequency details such as skin blemishes and wrinkles, while leaving other areas of the image untouched. This creates a pleasing, softened effect that's ideal for portrait and nature photography.
The filter is made with fine white particulate bonded between two pieces of Schott B270 Optical Glass, which exceeds 4K resolution capability. This unique construction alters incoming light to create a pleasing reduction in resolution with a slight effect on contrast.
The filter allows you to control three key areas of your image: Contrast, Halation, and Resolution. You can reduce high-frequency resolution, raise black levels, bloom highlights, or tailor a combination that is unique to your scene.
Tokina Cinema has analyzed data from thousands of feature films, commercials, TV shows, and independent productions to develop the SoftRes Diffusion Filter. This research has resulted in four basic filter types that replicate the vast majority of in-camera diffusion used today.
Yes, the filter is versatile and can be used in various types of photography. However, it is particularly effective in portrait and nature photography where a softer, dreamy effect is desired.
