B + W - 62mm Basic Soft Pro Filter

Take your photography to the next level with the 62mm Basic Soft Pro Filter, a high-quality and durable product from the reputable brand, B + W. This versatile filter is designed to deliver sharp images that are subtly overlaid with a soft unsharpness, creating a unique visual effect that cannot be replicated with image-processing software like Gaussian blur. The filter features small mini-lenslets, randomly distributed on a precisely plane-parallel glass disc. These lenslets scatter the incoming light, overlaying the sharp core image with hazy, diffuse halos. This effect opens up deep shadows, while the highlights are hardly blurred, instead forming a shimmering aura in the darker surroundings. Ideal for both portrait and landscape photography, the 62mm Basic Soft Pro Filter reduces high contrasts and softens light fringes in the backlight. This results in photographs that exude a gentle, romantic character. In portrait photography, this filter excels by ensuring details such as eyelashes remain sharp, while skin blemishes are gently obscured. For landscape shots, the filter can create stunning effects, adding a soft focus that enhances the overall aesthetic of the image. Please note, for optimal results, the focal length of the lens should not be too short and the aperture should not be set too small. We recommend not using a lens with a focal length less than 24 mm with full frame or 18 mm with APS and not setting the aperture smaller than f/16. Experience the difference in your photography with the 62mm Basic Soft Pro Filter, a tool that offers creative control and professional results.
