After attaching the 46mm Basic Soft Pro Filter to your camera lens, you'll notice a remarkable transformation in your images. This high-quality filter, crafted by the reputable brand B+W, is designed to deliver sharp images that are subtly overlaid with a soft unsharpness. The filter's unique design features small mini-lenslets randomly distributed on a precisely plane-parallel glass disc. These lenslets scatter light, overlaying the sharp core image with hazy, diffuse halos. The result is a soft focus effect that opens up deep shadows, while highlights are minimally blurred, creating a shimmering aura in darker surroundings. This effect adds a gentle, romantic character to your photos, making it a versatile tool for various types of photography, including portrait, landscape, and still life. The 46mm Basic Soft Pro Filter is particularly effective in reducing contrast and softening light fringes in backlit situations. Unlike image-processing software like Gaussian blur, this filter provides a natural soft focus effect that cannot be replicated digitally. For optimal results, it's recommended to use a lens with a focal length not less than 24mm with full frame or 18mm with APS, and not to set the aperture smaller than f/16. This will prevent the surface structure of the B+W Soft-Pro filter from appearing in the image. Experience the difference in your photography with the durable and easy-to-use 46mm Basic Soft Pro Filter, and explore new artistic styles and techniques.
