Soft filters, like HOYA SOFTENER A, can effectively diffuse light so as to create a hint of softness and enhanced glimmering on point light sources, like illumination lights, etc. Such a feature can create an impressive effect on the final image even with feeble light sources. Soft filters come in different types but the most popular are those performing a more visible blurred effect like the HOYA SOFTENER A. Also, the longer the focal length, the more visible the softening blurred effect will appear on the final image. Creates a picture with a clear focus and a soft gradation. This effect is especially evident on an object with a point light source. A filter randomly arranging a minute lens shaped like drops of water on the surface of an acrylic board scatters the light and results in a soft focus.
