Tiffen 95mm Black Coarse Thread Softnet 1 Filter | 95CSNB1

Getting the right diffusion on a large-diameter lens without losing sharpness is a persistent challenge. A standard soft filter can wash out contrast entirely, while a net on its own is finicky to mount. This Tiffen 95mm Black Coarse Thread Softnet 1 filter solves that specific problem by combining net diffusion with a practical screw-in design.

• 95mm thread size for large lenses. This filter is built to fit 95mm filter threads directly. No step-up rings or makeshift rigging needed, which means a clean, secure fit on your cine or still lens.
• Black Coarse Thread net texture. The coarse thread pattern scatters light in a way that softens fine details and reduces digital harshness. It preserves contrast better than white diffusion nets ? you get a gentle glow without the muddy look.
• Softnet 1 strength level. This is a subtle effect, not a heavy blur. It’s ideal when you want to take the edge off skin texture or knock down a bit of resolution without making the image look soft overall.
• Single-coated glass construction. The optical glass is treated to reduce flare and reflections. You’ll retain good color and sharpness while the net does its work on the highlights and micro-contrast.
• Direct compatibility. Because it’s a threaded filter, you can stack it in front of other glass as long as you watch for vignetting. It’s a clean, repeatable setup compared to a loose net.

This isn’t a filter you use every day. It’s a specialty tool for when you want that commercial or cinematic look ? controlled halation around highlights and a smooth roll-off in facial textures. Screw it on when you need it, unscrew it when you don’t.
