Based on filters originally developed by Lee Filters for use in the film industry, the Soft filters take the image from a subtle, barely noticeable softening to a heavy diffusion. Made from the highest quality, optically correct polyester-based materials, these lightweight and inexpensive filters are ideal for every type of portraiture and social photography. Mounted in plastic frames for extra protection, these filters slip easily into the photographer's filter holder system, to give the outstanding results expected from a Lee Filters product.
Calumet / Lee Polyester Filters
Polyester filters offer many advantages over the traditional gelatin filters and are priced at a substantial savings! Polyester filters will withstand the rigors of daily studio or location use for a longer life than gelatin filters. They're impervious to water and can be cleaned quite easily and safely. A 100 micron (0.1mm) polyester film offers an extremely smooth surface and a highly efficient transmission rate with no image degradation. Dye colors are fused into the filter and will retain their color value, even after extended use. All polyester filters are fully compatible with Kodak Wratten Gels.
