Tiffen 55mm Warm Soft/FX Filter #3 camera accessory

SKU CH-PAHQ-WCR00

A 55 mm filter that softens detail and adds an 812 warming tone for flattering portraits

  • Flattering portraits with gentle soft-focus effect
  • Warm 812½ tone adds inviting glow to images
  • High-quality optical glass maintains sharpness with minimal distortion
  • #3 strength gives noticeable softening for dreamy atmosphere
  • 55 mm thread fits compatible lenses securely

Portrait filter for 55mm lenses

The Tiffen 55mm Warm Soft/FX Filter #3 combines diffusion with an 812 warming effect to soften skin texture and add a gentle amber tone in a single glass element. It threads directly onto any lens with a 55mm filter ring, letting portrait and wedding photographers create a flattering, dreamy look without post-production work. The #3 density provides a noticeable but controllable softening that keeps eyes and lips acceptably sharp.

Suited to photographers who want in-camera warmth

Shooters who prefer to bake the effect into the RAW file at the moment of capture will appreciate the combined warming and soft-focus action. Videographers needing consistent skin rendering across takes also benefit from the fixed strength. Photographers who require adjustable diffusion, cooler colour balance, or a different thread diameter should look at other filter types or step-up rings.

55mm thread diameter

The filter fits only lenses or filter holders with a 55mm front thread; it will not mount on smaller or larger diameters without an adapter ring. This single specification determines whether the accessory can be used with your current optics.
