B+W Softspot The Softspot attachment consists of a clear circular opening in the center, surrounded by a structured surface that “coats” the outer portions of the image with a whitening unsharp softness in a vignette-like fashion: the center of the image is clearly emphasized and surrounded by a wide frame. At large apertures (small f-stop number), the transition from sharpness to whitened unsharpness
is very gradual, whereas it is almost abrupt when the lens
is stopped down. It is advisable to use the preview lever on
cameras (that are equipped with one) to determine the
optimal. |
