  Polarizing Filters
Canon Circular Polarizer (rotating Mount) Filter. Circular polarizers are specifically designed for use with auto-focus SLR cameras (They will also work on manual systems and video cameras without problems) • This filter eliminates ultraviolet rays to remove haze from outdoor shots as well as polarizing the light to remove reflections, and increase color saturation, without affecting the overall color balance.
  Soft Focus Filters
Canon Softmat Effect Glass Filter. Canon Softmat filters are soft focus filters. Their soft-focus effect is due to the irregular surface of the filter which causes smaller details, like wrinkles and skin blemishes, to be out of focus while leaving larger details such as the eyes sharp. This filter is most effective when used for soft focus portraiture. This filter is only available in 52 and 58mm, in grades 1 and 2, with 2 having the greater effect.
