Digital BW, The Print

An ultrasharp Canon Pro-1 (or Olympus C8080) user who didn't critical
recording of pores and zits might want to risk $ on a Hassleblad/Zeiss
Softar filter, probably a #1 or #2 intensity...

Softars aren't diffusers, they're like a bug's eye, zillions of
mini-lenses... you get a simultaneous soft-sharp, with the
dark stuff (eyes, hair, teeth edges, nostrils) sharp and the
light stuff softened to a degree that depends on the
# from 1-3.   

Once almost universally used on Hassleblads for fashion work. Don't
know what size you'd need for the Canon Pro-1. 

There's one on Ebay buy-it-now for $60...maybe that's fair. Seems to
me they cost twice that or more new. Maybe Tiffen or Hoya has
something comparable.
