[Product Description]
Product Description
The "Kenko PRO1D ProSofton [B] (W)" is a soft filter that produces a beautiful, smooth soft effect with a gentle diffusion of light.
Thanks to a special coating on the filter surface and extremely fine special processing, it is a versatile type that can be used with any lens from wide-angle to telephoto without restrictions on focal length or aperture values.
For those who want a stronger soft effect, the "PRO1D ProSofton [B] (W)" is recommended.
[B] is a stronger "High" type compared to [A], providing a more pronounced effect. It can clearly emphasize stars in starry sky photography.
The filter surface is coated with digital multi-coating to achieve a low reflectance of less than 0.5%. Additionally, the outer edge of the glass is painted black to prevent internal reflections.
It features a slim frame design that minimizes reflections when used with wide-angle lenses.
【Effects of the ProSofton Series】
■ Softens bright stars to highlight constellations.
Bright stars visible to the naked eye can appear overly sharp in digital images, making it difficult to distinguish their brightness and color. Using the ProSofton, bright stars will appear blurred, clarifying their brightness and color differences, and making constellations stand out.
■ Smooths skin in portrait photography.
The soft effect blurs skin imperfections such as pores, creating a smooth appearance while also giving a gentle, soft atmosphere. It also diffuses highlights to make skin look smoother.
■ Creates soft depictions of flowers and foliage.
Softens the vivid details of plants while achieving a beautiful, smooth diffusion of light. The background blur also appears softer. Using a telephoto lens and finding a background that makes the main subject stand out can enhance the dreamy effect. Adding backlighting creates a more fantastical photo!
