Tiffen 86mm Softnet Black 2 Filter

The Tiffen 86mm Softnet Black 2 Filter is a softening filter meant to replicate the look of draping silk over the lens in order to soften or diffuse light. This filter works by scattering light entering the lens through a mesh pattern, resulting in an overall even, soft glow. The black distinction helps to maintain the overall contrast of the scene by reducing the overall spread of light into the shadows. This filter has a 2 density, providing a moderate amount of softening.
