B+W Soft Pro
B+W has succeeded in creating a new type of soft focus to produce high optical quality photographs. An innovative pellicle technique enables manufacture of soft focus lenses from glass substrate-- the soft focus effect is created by microlenses incorperated in the glass surface. Apart from the improved optical characteristics, glass in contract to plastic is more scratch resistant and the surface is easier to clean. The soft focus effect of the new B+W Soft-Pro Filter delivers fine skin smoothing for portrait photography and give landscape photographs a fine 'gauzy' accent with slightly halated light. Suitable for colour, black and white and digital photography.

B+W Soft Image
The softening effect on the contours of the subject are only slightly more pronounced than the B+W Soft Focus 2. Its application is recommended for backlit pictures because the halo effect on the highlights is further enhanced, yet shadow areas remain sharply defined. Its image effect does not change with the size of the aperture.
