A round glass camera filter with a black metal rim, 77mm diameter

B + W Filter Company

B + W 77mm Basic Soft Pro Filter 65-1102813 camera filter

SKU CH-267X-72JQ1

A 77mm soft-focus filter that scatters light through mini-lenslets for romantic, low-contrast portraits and landscapes

  • Romantic soft-focus effect from mini-lenslet diffusion
  • Sharp core details preserved while shadows open up
  • Highlights form a shimmering aura in dark areas
  • Reduces contrast and softens light fringes naturally
  • Creative in-camera effect impossible with software blur

77mm Soft Pro Filter for Portrait and Landscape

The B + W 77mm Basic Soft Pro Filter attaches to any lens with a 77mm thread. Small mini-lenslets on a plano-parallel glass disc scatter light, overlaying a sharp core image with diffuse halos. This reduces contrast and softens light fringes while keeping fine details such as eyelashes crisp. The effect cannot be replicated with standard software blur tools.

Creative effect that replaces digital

Photographers who currently rely on Gaussian blur or similar software filters gain an optical alternative that preserves highlight structure and opens deep shadows. The jump is worth it when you want a romantic, shimmering aura around highlights straight from the camera rather than spending time simulating the look in editing.

Check your lens thread size before ordering

Verify that the front of your lens accepts 77mm filters; other diameters will not fit without a step-up ring. The filter is designed for screw-in mounting on compatible camera lenses. No additional power or electronic coupling is required.

Questions about this item

What filter thread size does the 77mm Basic Soft Pro Filter require on the lens?

The filter mounts on any lens with a 77 mm front thread, matching the 77 mm diameter stated in the product name.

How do you attach the filter, and what common mistake should be avoided?

Screw the filter onto the 77 mm thread until snug; the mistake is over-tightening, which can bind the thin brass ring and make removal difficult.

Will the optical coating or glass degrade and need replacement over time?

The plano-parallel glass disc and mini-lenslet surface are permanent; no coating wears out and no replacement is required under normal use.
