Tiffen Soft FX Reviews

Good As Intended Completing Options

By Chance Chan
Rated 5 out of 5

I Have A Tiffen 67mm Soft/FX 3 Filter From The 1990s. Was Good To Ease The Harsh Sharpness Of Hasselblad Lenses Used For Portraits On Analog Film As Well As Making 'dreamy Glamorous Beauty' Effect For Some Styles Of Photos. Made Studio Strobe Wedding Portraits Look Nice Especially Of Females. Todays Digital Mirrorless Sensors And Lenses Are Extremely Sharp And Sterile Showing Details Which May Not Be Flattering In Portraits. Grade 3 Maybe Too Dreamy For Corporate Portraits Particularly Males, Having Grade 1 Can Have Flattering Effects Option With Less Glamor Intensity. It's Still Good At Overall Lessening Digital Sharpness Harshness. Having This Lower Strength Grade Completes My Shooting Set Options.

Great filter

It perfect.. gives a nice look. I think the soft/fx1 would be better (only because the highlights bloom alot with this) but this is a way to go to soften your footage/image.

See any errors on this page?

question

what is the filter factor for this? How much light does it reduce?
