Let the 77mm Basic Soft Pro Filter elevate your photography to new heights. This high-quality, durable filter is expertly crafted by the reputable brand, B + W, and is designed to deliver sharp images that are subtly overlaid with a soft unsharpness. This unique effect is achieved through the use of small mini-lenslets that are randomly distributed on a precisely plano-parallel glass disc. These lenslets scatter light, overlaying the sharp core image with hazy, diffuse halos.
The result Deep shadows are opened up, while highlights are hardly blurred, instead forming a shimmering aura in the darker surroundings. This gives your photos a gentle, romantic character, making this filter not only effective but also versatile. It's perfect for both portrait and landscape photography, reducing contrast and softening light fringes in the backlight.
The 77mm Basic Soft Pro Filter is more than just a "soft focus attachment." It's a tool that gives photographers creative control, allowing for the creation of images that cannot be achieved with image-processing software like Gaussian blur. Details such as eyelashes remain sharp, while skin blemishes are gently covered up.
For optimal results, it's recommended to use a lens with a focal length not less than 24 mm with full frame or 18 mm with APS and not setting the aperture smaller than f/16. This ensures that the surface structure of the B+W Soft-Pro filter won't be depicted in the image.
Easy to use and compatible with most cameras and lenses with a 77mm filter size, the 77mm Basic Soft Pro Filter is a must-have for photographers aiming for perfect beauty shots, even those used in Hollywood films.
