Spectral Cross
- A filter made by sandwiching black gauze-like fiber between two pieces
of colorless, transparent optical glass in a rotating frame. Produces both
soft focus and cross effects. An overall soft-focus effect is obtained for
portraits, etc., outdoors with direct lighting, while back lighting or
point light sources at night create heightened cross effects. The effect
is somewhat softer than with cross screen and diffraction of the light
produces a slight amount of flare.
