## Long description

The B+W Basic Soft Pro 55mm optical softening filter is designed for portrait and creative photography where controlled diffusion and gentle highlight glow are required. This 55mm screw-in filter reduces local contrast and softens highlights to create a flattering look on skin tones while preserving overall image detail and sharpness. It fits lenses with a 55mm filter thread and is intended for photographers who need a subtle softening effect without heavy loss of clarity.
Advantages
The Soft Pro filter produces a balanced diffusion: it diminishes blemishes and hard edges in highlights while maintaining fine detail in midtones and shadows. Its optical design reduces contrast in a predictable way, providing consistent results across different lighting conditions. The screw-in 55mm format makes it easy to attach and remove, and compatibility with standard 55mm threaded lenses ensures wide applicability across many lenses.
Suitable for
Portrait photography to flatter skin tones and reduce the appearance of minor skin imperfections.
Wedding and event photography where a gentle, romantic glow is desired.
Creative and fine-art photography requiring controlled diffusion effects.
Studio and environmental portraits under various lighting setups.
Key specifications
Filter type: optical softening / diffusion filter
Thread diameter: 55 mm
Effect strength: moderate softening and highlight glow while retaining overall sharpness
Mount type: screw-in filter for 55mm lens threads
How to use
Screw the 55mm softening filter onto the front of a compatible lens until secure, taking care not to cross-thread. Compose and focus as usual; the filter applies diffusion to the image without affecting focusing accuracy. For portraits, position lighting to create gentle highlights that will render with a soft glow through the filter. Remove or replace the filter as needed when switching between diffused and normal sharp rendering.
Usage recommendations
For best results, use the filter with medium aperture settings to balance subject separation and diffusion. Test the filter in the shooting environment to gauge the optimal distance and lighting for the desired softening effect, and consider using it selectively for close-up portraits or highlight-rich scenes.
