Formatt BF 86-3-HDSWM - HItech Glass 86mm

The Formatt 86mm Soft White Mist 3 Filter is a softening and mist effect filter. This filter imparts softening to the subject matter of the scene at a medium distance focal point while leaving the background unaffected by the effects of the filter. Unlike a traditional softening filter, the Soft White Mist does not impart diffusion or color splitting to the image. The 3 density provides the greatest amount of softening.

This filter is constructed from specially formulated CR-39 resin sandwiched between two layers of high-quality Schott glass.


- Softening filter only affects the subject at a medium distance focal point, while maintaining background sharpness as dictated by exposure settings.

- Unlike traditional softening filters, this filter does not diffuse light entering the lens.

- Helps to minimize blemishes and wrinkles in subject matter.

- Formatt filters combine high-quality Schott glass with specially formulated CR-39 resin in order to contain synthetic dyes while still garnering the benefits of optical glass.
