Overview
Key Features
【Intense Diffuse Light】 NEEWER 1/4 soft white diffusion filter softens the intense glare entering the camera lens, balances contrast, highlights details in dark areas and creates a dreamy, misty and retro effect in all your images. Softer and more ethereal, but almost no loss of clarity or detail.
【Make Subjects Shine】 For cinematic portraits, the filter can smooth the skin and minimize imperfections without altering the existing color temperature. For landscapes/photographs, you can blur the atmosphere and create creamy and silky textures to make subjects appear illusory and aesthetic, adding a bright effect to intense light. When shooting dark scenes, it adds a vintage and mysterious touch.
【Dual Sided Nano Coatings】 30 layers of nano coatings on both sides protect the HD optical filter glass against scratches, fingerprints, smudges and dust while retaining clarity for crisp, detailed photographs
【Ultra Slim CNC Threaded Frame】 Easy to screw onto your camera lens through threads. The slim frame prevents unnecessary vignetting on wide-angle lenses. Compatible with all 58mm lenses, please check your lens thread size before ordering (usually marked on the lens cylinder or printed on the bottom of the lens cap with a symbol "ø").
【Wide Application】 Bring a calm and dreamy atmosphere to portraits, landscape photography, product photography, fashion photo shoots and black and white photography. Comes with a filter protective box made of high-quality PC material, which makes the filter easier to store and carry. Cleaning cloth included to keep filter dry and clean
