Tiffen 86mm Warm Soft Fx 2 Filter

Tiffen 86mm Warm Soft Fx 2 Filter
  • Product Code: eq1332
  • Availability: In Stock

$569.85 $746.50

The Tiffen 86mm Warm Soft FX 2 Filtercan be applied to create a warm cast over an entire image while purposely reducing the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles in portraits, or to apply a general soft-focus effect while maintaining overall sharpness. An array of small lenses distributed within the surface of this filter smooths fine lines and textures, which can be useful for creating a more flattering result of a subject.

The warming effect of this filter can be obtained under daylight when this filter is used on a film camera system with daylight film installed, or on a digital camera system with its daylight white balance setting selected. This filter's overall coloration reflects a mired shift value of +45.

This filter has a grade of 2. Grades of 1/2, 1, 3, 4, and 5 are also available where this filter type's effect becomes approximately twice as strong with each grade number increase. When higher grade numbers are applied, a halation effect around highlights can be created to further enhance a subject's appearance or produce a desired effect.

This filter is constructed from optical glass for clarity as well as color fidelity. It is made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass and grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and then mounting to precision metal rings.

[0.35 lb] This is a very nice diffusion filter that effects small line without softening the overall image. I use it mainly for video productions. The only caution you should take, is if you're using a still camera lens on a video camera, and thus only using part of the lens. This will actually increase the strength of the filter and diffuse the image even more, maybe more than what you want.

[0.35 lb] I bought the filter for use with a Sony PMW-EX1 video camera. I use it primarily for interviews and find that it gives a nice soft look.

[0.35 lb] Most of my portraits taken in the studio with my lites, often have a hot lite appearance to them. I needed something to soften them. What this filter does is not only soften the images but lends a warming tone to the skin. With two complete photo sessions completed, my customers are quite satisfied with the results as I am.

[0.35 lb] Its a great portrait filter as I use it to give a warmer feel to the overall scene, but also skin tones. The softness is not too much as the subject's eyes standout. Its a great filter to keep in your bag.

[0.35 lb] This filter saved my life on a shoot outdoors with a very pale Iowan at the end of winter. Midwesterners don't see the sun for months and they get really, really pale. My Tiffen Warm Soft F/X1 transformed the subject from looking like death warmed over into to a regular human being. The great thing about using the F/X1 is that you can't tell it's in use. People shot from less than 5 or 6 feet away don't look fuzzy, they just look a little better. However, out past 8 or 10 feet you can start to see that there's something weird going on. I wouldn't use it to shoot a room for instance. But at normal closeup distances, it's magical.

[0.35 lb] Just enough softening to relax the hardness' in a portrait. Does not create any fog or flare. Love using this filter in the studio for both women's and men's formal portraits.

[0.35 lb] As standard practice in the portrait studio I like using the Soft/FX1 because it provides just enough help to take the hard edge off a portrait. Now that I have the FX2, I find it's my choice for some faces. Its effect is still fairly subtle, but can sometimes be too soft for a younger customer's portrait when it is to be used in professional publication. I can't say I notice any flare or fog effect. Technically the FX series filters aren't a translucent milky material. It would be more accurate to describe them as clear glass with hundreds or thousands of very, very small bubbles trapped inside that act as lenses.
