The Hoya Diffuser filter gives a soft-focus effect due to the uneven surface pattern of the glass that spreads light rays traveling through your lens.
The Hoya Diffuser filter is helpful when:
- “Softening” skin tones to reduce wrinkles or blemishes
- Reducing overall contrast
- Reducing the harsh “blown-out” look of highlights in light sources
- Creating a softer mood in an image
