K&F Concept 49 mm Shimmer Diffusion 1 Filter Optical Glass Glimmer Effect Filter

Nano-X — diffusion filter 49 mm, scatters the light gently and softens the image.

• 28 anti-reflective layers
• Screws onto a lens with a 49 mm thread.
• The surface repels water and grease and resists scratches

A diffusion filter scatters the light passing through and takes the hard edges off the picture without blurring it. Highlights around lamps and reflections bleed into a gentle glow, skin softens and the image picks up the feel of older lenses. The effect happens in the glass itself, so it responds to the real light in the scene.

The surface repels water and grease, so drops run off and fingerprints wipe away without smears; the coating also stands up to cleaning in the field.

Tiny mirrored facets are scattered through the glass and sprinkle a fine sparkle around bright areas. Unlike a misty diffusion the whole picture does not go soft — the contrast stays and only the highlights pick up a glint. It suits weddings, concerts and Christmas lights.
