B+W Soft Pro Basic Filter (95mm)

This 95mm Soft Pro Basic Filter from B+W filter delivers sharp images, which are softly overlaid with unsharpness. Small mini-lenslets are distributed randomly on a precisely plano-parallel glass disc, scattering the light and overlaying the sharp core image with hazy, diffuse halos. This opens up deep shadows, while highlights themselves are hardly blurred, but instead form a shimmering aura in the darker surroundings. In addition to portrait photography, soft-focus attachments are used for great effects in landscape images. They reduce contrast and the light fringes in the backlight are softened. The photos take on a gentle, romantic character.
