Tiffen 95mm Black Coarse Thread Softnet 3 Filter | 95CSNB3
Run your finger across the front of this Tiffen 95mm Black Coarse Thread Softnet 3 Filter and you’ll feel the fine mesh?an actual woven netting stretched inside the ring. It’s not a piece of glass at all. That mesh is the entire point: it scatters a little light hitting the lens, softening fine details without blurring the whole frame. You get a gentle, filmic glow in highlights, with skin textures rendered smoother and more forgiving.
- Black Softnet construction drops highlight bloom into your shadows subtly, preserves contrast better than a standard diffusion filter?less haze, more atmosphere.
- Coarse thread on the netting produces a noticeably softer effect than fine-thread versions, ideal when you want a visible vintage look straight out of camera.
- 95mm front thread fits large-diameter cine and still lenses; stack it with another filter if needed thanks to the standard ring profile.
- Rated at #3 density gives a moderate-to-strong softening effect, perfect for portraiture, narrative scenes, or any shot where you want to tame digital sharpness.
- No special tools needed for use?just screw it on like any standard round filter and adjust your exposure as needed (the netting does eat a small amount of light).
This isn’t a filter you add in post. You bolt it onto the front of your lens and commit to the look as you shoot. If you’re after that unfiltered, organic softness that digital sensors can’t fake, the Tiffen 95mm Black Coarse Thread Softnet 3 delivers it right out of the box.
