The Tiffen 72mm Warm Black Diffusion/FX 1/4 Filter diffuses strong light entering the lens and produces a glowing effect. While the resulting image appears softer and ethereal, there is little loss of clarity or detail. This filter works by diffusing the light entering the lens with small aberrations; by spreading the light more evenly, a soft glow is created rather than the sharp, well-defined image when shooting without a filter. In addition to the diffusion provided, a warming effect is also integrated into the filter helping to further balance skin tones. This filter has a 1/4 density, providing a very subtle amount of softening.

Tiffen filters are made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and then mounting to precision metal rings.

Q: 5. Can someone help compare this with the (older?) XF23/f1.4 R? Other than WR, is the f/1.4 sharper? Why is it more expensive.

A: As others have stated the sheer fact that the F1.4 is one stop faster is likely the biggest factor in price. Apparently any barrel distortion is corrected in the lens whereas its slower(F2) brother is corrected in post. However, the F2 seems to focus quicker for me and the smaller size makes it a perfect match for the Fuji system and a dream to work with when size is a factor. As I see it the only thing the F1.4 gives you that the other does not is F1.4.
