B+W 37mm Soft Pro Filter

The B+W 37mm Soft Pro Filter is a soft focus filter that helps soften and diffuse subject matter while still maintaining a semblance of sharp focus and detail. The filter surface features fine lenticular protrusions that have been applied to a high-grade plano-parallel glass plate in a random order. The light that passes through the protrusions is able to preserve focus while the light that is reflected from the small lenses is diverted and results in a halo-like effect. By combining elements of both sharp and soft focus together the image holds on to its clarity while still providing an ethereal quality. This filter is ideal for use with portraiture, especially in backlit situations or other scenes with lighting present in the image frame.
