The Tiffen 86mm Warm Soft/FX 1/2 Filter can be applied to create a warm cast over an entire image while purposely reducing the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles in portraits, or to apply a general soft-focus effect while maintaining overall sharpness. An array of small lenses distributed within the surface of this filter smooths fine lines and textures, which can be useful for creating a more flattering result of a subject.

The warming effect of this filter can be obtained under daylight when this filter is used on a film camera system with daylight film installed, or on a digital camera system with its daylight white balance setting selected. This filter's overall coloration reflects a mired shift value of +45.

This filter has a grade of 1/2. Grades of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are also available where this filter type's effect becomes approximately twice as strong with each grade number increase. When higher grade numbers are applied, a halation effect around highlights can be created to further enhance a subject's appearance or produce a desired effect.

This filter is constructed from optical glass for clarity as well as color fidelity. It is made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass and grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and then mounting to precision metal rings.

Q: 6. Since this runs with a DC adapter, has anyone tried to power with a battery and what voltage is supplied to the light by the AC adapter?

A: According to the manufacturer, GVM states that the GVM LED Ring Light Soft Light 600S is not designed for battery power usage. The unit comes with a power adapter and a power cable designed for AC usage on 110 to 220 VAC, 50 / 60 Hz voltage. The included power adapter has a DC plug connection which plugs into the ring light, into which you would plug in the power cable to plug the setup into a standard household AC outlet. However, this DC plug connection is solely for the AC power adapter, not for DC battery power usage. The unit does include two (2) DC double-ended cables, but they are designed to connect and power two light bars from the ring light without the light bars being directly connected to the ring light. If you need to power the light fixture on location, as it is not a battery-powered light fixture, you would have to purchase a power inverter such as the Photogenic Ion Lithium-ion Pure Sine Wave Inverter System, B&H # PHION, or the Interfit Nomad Portable Battery Pack B&H # INNOM100, for your location usage needs. Both units listed above are battery-powered, but they have a built-in standard AC power outlet which allows you to power the setup on location.
