Smokin Filters Inc. announced today that they have released three new
filters for the advanced amateur and professional market. The filters will
be available immediately by mail order. The filters are:
Bokeh Plus
Bokeh Extra Creamy
Bokeh 4-Nikon
The filters come in a variety of sizes. They make good-bokeh lenses better
and bad-boheh lenses marginally acceptable.
The filters are reasonably priced; for example in 55mm the prices are:
Plus $22.99, Extra Creamy $33.49, and 4-Nikon $119.99.
"We're very excited by this lineup," said marketing VP T.P. Knowgood, "it
will allow even to most mediochre photographer using Canon digital bodies
and lenses a chance to make bokeh. The high price on the 4-Nikon isn't
because the filter is so hard to make, but rather because we know this user
group will pay through the nose to add this filter to their bags. We will
also be coming out with a $500 version for Leica users, but we don't expect
it to be used to actually make photos.
Early testers of filters, including renowned bokeh shooter Takashita
Reicadict have heaped praise on the Smokin filter lineup. "We are bery
preased with the smooth background highrights" he said, but couldn't comment
further as he was running to catch a flight to Berlin for a meeting of
photojournalists in the red light district.
Smokin Filters is a highly lucrative privately owned company that reaps
profits from gullibe camera owners.
Apologies to all,
Ed
