Soft-focus filter:
Use it for moments when you want to add mode to a scene. This can be especially good for portraits, when you want to make the person appear romantic, but equally the soft-focus filter is also good for injecting atmosphere to landscapes and still lifes.
Used carefully and not excessively, the soft focus of diffuser filter can be a useful ally.
I f you want to get the most out of the soft –focus filter you need to be careful of the aperture you’re using.
Basically, the wider the aperture you use, the greater the soft-focus effect will be. So, using an aperture of f/4 or 5.6 will give plenty of soft- focus whereas an aperture of f/16 will give hardly any effect at all.

Ultra Violet(UV):
Everyone needs a UV filter! It’s clear clear, which means that it can left fitted to your lens at all the times, so providing valuable protection from the precious lens front elements from being scratched or damaged.
But on a creative level, the UV or Ultra Violet filter
Cuts down on glare and flare in a scene, so is ideal for landscapes and other shots taken outdoors where the risk flare and haze is at its greatest
