Two types of center focus for portraits
SOFT-SPOT (Sand screen & Soft screen)
Both have a clear center spot which makes the central image stand
out clearly. SAND SCREEN has a smoky appearance while SOFT
SCREEN has an irregularly uneven surface. With SOFT-SPOT, the
size of the clear part in the center of the picture varies depending on
the lens and aperture used.
