The Kondor Blue 82mm Opaline 1/2 Diffusion filter is a round 82mm diffusion filter. It attaches to a lens's 82mm front thread and can be stacked with other filters via its own 82mm thread. Diffusion is rated at 1/2 strength, a strong grade that lifts shadows and blooms highlights visibly. The ring is machined from brass, which resists denting and galling in a way anodized aluminum does not.
Key Features
Soft Focus/Diffusion Filter
A diffusion filter lowers contrast and blooms highlights, softening digital sharpness in a way that is difficult to reproduce convincingly in post.
Round Screw-In Format
The filter threads directly onto the front of a lens, which suits handheld and location work where a matte box would be in the way.
82mm Filter Thread
The filter threads onto an 82mm front thread. A lens with a different thread needs a step ring.
82mm Front Thread
The front of the filter carries its own 82mm thread, so a second filter or a hood can be mounted in front of it.
1/2 Diffusion
Diffusion is rated at 1/2 strength, a strong grade that lifts shadows and blooms highlights visibly.
Brass Filter Ring
The ring is machined from brass rather than aluminum, which resists denting and is less prone to binding on a lens thread.
