The Tiffen 4 x 5.65" Soft/FX 1/4 Filter is a powerful tool for refining portraits by intentionally reducing the visibility of blemishes and wrinkles. It also offers the versatility of applying a gentle soft-focus effect while preserving the overall clarity of the image. This effect is achieved through a pattern of small lenses embedded on the filter's surface, effectively smoothing fine lines and textures, resulting in a more pleasing appearance for subjects.

With a grade of 1/4, this filter belongs to a range of grades including 1/8, 1/2, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. As you move up the grade scale, the filter's impact becomes progressively stronger. Higher grades can create a halo-like effect around highlights, further elevating the subject's look or producing desired visual outcomes.

Manufactured from optical glass, this filter guarantees both clarity and color precision. It seamlessly fits into filter holders capable of accommodating 4mm-thick, 4 x 5.65" rectangular filters. The filter is crafted using the advanced ColorCore technology, which involves meticulously laminating the filter substrate between two layers of optical glass and then meticulously grinding it to a remarkable tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. This results in a top-notch filter that consistently delivers superior quality and performance.
