The Tiffen 4x5.650" Soft/FX Filter 1 diffuses strong light entering the lens and produces a glowing effect. While the resulting image appears softer and ethereal, there is little loss of clarity or detail. This filter works by diffusing the light entering the lens with small aberrations; by spreading the light more evenly, a soft glow is created rather than the sharp, well-defined image when shooting without a filter. The 1 density provides more softening than the 1/2, but less than the 2.
The Tiffen 4x5.650" Soft/FX Filter 1 is ideal for soft focus portraits and scenics to take the "Hard Edge" off of the scene, In utilizing Soft/FX in less densities- it is difficult to know that a filter was even utilized unless you have a comparison image. Soft/FX offers a greater softening effect as compared to the Black Diffusion FX.
