The Tiffen 86mm Coarse Thread Soft/FX 3 Filter can be applied to purposely reduce 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.

This filter has a grade of 3. Grades of 1/2, 1, 2, 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: 4. Can I use this with a speed lite?

A: No, you may not. The Norman 810740 22 Soft Reflector - Type 1 Beauty Dish is designed for use with Norman studio strobes; it is not compatible with speedlights. The closest comparable item we have that would be compatible with speedlights would be the Impact 20 Beauty Dish Kit for Speedlights and VC/VS-VSD Monolights, B&H # IMBD20BDK.

Q: 5. Will this work with the Fuji Xpro 1?
