The Tiffen 4 x 5" Soft/FX 4 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 4. Grades of 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 3, 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 and is compatible with filter holders that can accommodate 4mm-thick, 4 x 5" rectangular filters. 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.

Q: 1. It will work with DJI X5S?

A: There are three issues to consider. (1) Balance. Since this lens and the Olympus 14-42 (the only X5 supported zoom) are about the same weight and have the same thread diameter, there is a good chance that the balance ring for the Olympus (a 37mm-23 gram) will work (2) Control of the power zoom from the DJI Go app. Since this lens has power zoom it seems like it should work, but it depends on the pin positions, and whether there is something within the DJI Go app that needs to be adjusted. (3) Power O.I.S. Nope, there is no reason to expect that this will work on the X5. So until someone is willing to test it, your long awaited answer is maybe, maybe not.

Q: 3. Will Tamron 16-300mm work for new Canon EOS 77D in live-view mode?

A: I tried the Tamron 16-300mm on my Sony a7RII with a Sony A-MOUNT TO E-MOUNT ADAPTOR(BH# SOLAEA3) and had serious issues with focusing. I returned the lens although I loved its range and it may have just been the adapter's problem. I settled for the more compatible Sony 24-240mm E-mount and am avoiding adapters in future. Will it work for the new Canon EOS 77D? You will not know until you try it. B&H are very good about returns if you are not happy with it.
