Pre-Owned Tiffen 67mm Soft/FX Filter
The Tiffen 67mm Soft/FX 4 Filter is a professional-grade special effects diffusion filter designed primarily to enhance portrait photography. By utilizing a specialized pattern of tiny internal "lenslets", it softens fine image details like wrinkles and skin blemishes while maintaining sharp focus on larger details like the subject's eyes. The #4 density provides a distinctly strong, dreamy soft-focus look and can introduce a creative halation effect around highlights.
Key Specifications & Features
• Optical Construction: Built using Tiffen's proprietary ColorCore Technology, which involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass and grinding it flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch.
• Density Strength: Grade 4. The Soft/FX series spans from 1/2 (most subtle) up to 5 (most intense), with the effect roughly doubling with each numeric grade increase.
• Filter Thread: 67mm rear thread to screw onto the lens, with front threads that allow stacking other filters.
• Main Application: Ideal for weddings, close-up portraits, and filmmakers looking to smooth out textures and drop contrast subtly without losing essential structural sharpness.
