The Kondor Blue 82mm Opaline 1/8 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 1/8 strength, a light grade that softens highlights without a visible bloom. 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.
1/8 Diffusion
Diffusion is rated at 1/8 strength, a light grade that softens highlights without a visible bloom.
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.
