NEW-- B+W Soft Pro soft focus filters
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.

B+W Fog Filters 1 and 2
Pictures taken with the fog filter appear to have been taken in a fine, bright mist. Whitening colors and soft lights create a romantic atmosphere which can enhance the tone of the image in an unusual way. In backlit situations, there is an even stronger effect. The three densities allow for variations.

B+W Soft Spot
The soft spot produces a clear circular section in the center of the image where the details of the subject are reproduced in sharp focus. The surrounding area does not go completely out of focus but remains visible in softly flared contours with a slight whitening of colors.
