Tiffen 82WSFX5 82mm Warm Soft/FX 5 Filter

The Tiffen 82mm Warm Soft/FX 5 Filter is designed for photographers and cinematographers who want to achieve a warm, softly diffused look directly in-camera. By combining a Soft/FX diffusion layer with a warming tone, the filter gently smooths fine details — wrinkles, skin texture, and minor blemishes — while shifting colors toward a flattering golden hue. This dual-purpose design means one filter does the work of two, keeping your kit lighter and reducing the vignetting risk that comes with stacking.

Built with Tiffen's ColorCore technology, the diffusion and warming elements are laminated between two sheets of optical glass. This ensures that the effect is consistent edge to edge, with no variation in color density or diffusion strength across the frame. The 82mm thread size accommodates many popular professional lenses, and standard threading allows compatibility with step-up rings for use on smaller filter diameters. At a strength of 5, this is toward the more pronounced end of the Soft/FX range — ideal when a clearly visible glow is the creative intent, though photographers seeking a barely-there softness may prefer a lower number in the series.
