The Sq100 Golden Soft slightly softens objects in an image, taking out just a little bit of their sharpness, and gently enhances light sources. The filter's unique feature is that it also adds a subtle warm color tone to the image. This combination of effects gives the image a cinematic vintage look and generally a warm, friendly atmosphere. Great settings can be romantic or happy scenes, but also landscape with warm colors of flowers or sunshine.
Choose between 1/4 and 1/8 for the optimal density
The Sq100 Golden Soft is available as 1/4 and 1/8, with the 1/4 having the overall stronger softening effect. Tendentially, in situations with strong light sources close to the camera or strong backlighting, the 1/8 is preferrable in order to avoid an overly strong effect. In low light situations, nightscape with light sources far away or settings with weak backlighting, the 1/8 might turn out too subtle, making the 1/4 the preferred choice for a clearer visible effect.
However, in the end it comes down to the artist's preferences and intentions as both densities can work fantastically in all kinds of settings!
