![]() The four positive Impression V Filters are named IV 070P, IV 140P, IV 230P, and IV 330P, while the four negative filters are IV 050N, IV 100N, IV 200N, and IV 290N. ARRI touts that the positive filters have a softer, “nostalgic, glamourous feel, with swirly bokeh, glowing skin tones” while negative filters have a gritter look, with inward-pulling bokeh for “intense, vibrant backgrounds. The affect of the Impression V Filters on bokeh is most noticeable in background highlights, which get more of a “donut” effect (bright around the edges) with negative filters, and more of a “bauble” effect (brighter in the middle) with positive filters. While diopters are traditionally positioned in front of a lens to reduce its close focus distance, ARRI’s new Impression V Filters attach to the back of Signature lenses via the built-in rear magnetic filter adapter and alter the bokeh. The eight Impression V Filters are made up of four negative and four positive diopter filters, which incrementally shift the focus characteristics of the image, allowing a range of detuned looks to be created for Super 35 or large format with one set of Signature lenses.Īccording to ARRI, the filters “make an entire lens set more versatile and creatively expressive” in that productions can craft a detuned look without needing extensive prep time, and add a secondary look without hiring a second set of lenses. The thing to bear in mind - and I realise I'm stating the obvious here - is that it's a completely different effect to "swirly bokeh" it's merely changing the shape of out-of-focus highlights, not creating the swirl effect.ARRI has launched its new line of Impression Filters, designed to give a vintage feel to Signature Prime and Signature Zoom lenses. The point of these is that they are consistent, fairly affordable, and can be mounted on various lenses.Although I haven't tried it myself, I've seen some great results from other people using both commercially-made and home-made bokeh masks like you describe. The best part is you can put these on any lens (obviously fast aperture lenses will be the best choice). ![]() Crosshatch and other bokeh filters (you can even make your own out of black cardboard and attach them to the front of a lens. Some are gimmicks, some are a bit silly, but they can work very well in a photoshoot like that. Especially in the film days, there were plenty of filters that add visual effects. This is why I would recommend something that is a sure thing, and at a fairly low price: Filters. The point of these is that they are consistent, fairly affordable, and can be mounted on various lenses.īut feel free to look for a Volna or Helios or another lens from the thread that THoog linked above. ![]() There are people who bought Russian lenses expecting mad swirls on every shot, but then got disappointed because it happens so rarely. ![]() Some theories are that this swirl is basically a combination of lens design and manufacturing defect, along with certain conditions while taking the photo. Helios and Industar are known for swirls, but not every copy does it as much. think some of those Lomo lenses are available in Pentax K. At the more expensive end, the Lomography Petzval lenses also produce the swirl effect - but I don't think they are available in K mount either.
