4x5.65 Lucid Dream FX Filter

The way this filter softens harsh highlights into a dreamy glow is incredible, and I love the unique sparkle effect it adds to my video footage. It's easily the strongest diffusion filter I've used, yet it still keeps details crisp in the center.

The sparkle coating on this filter is unlike anything I've tried—it adds a dreamy, ethereal glow to every frame without washing out the details. I was worried it might be too strong, but even in harsh midday sun the softness feels natural. Definitely my new go-to for creative shoots.

I shoot a lot of backlit portraits and this thing blooms the highlights into the softest haze without killing the skin tones. The redesigned coating gives a texture I haven't gotten from any other diffusion filter I've owned. Honestly it's the boldest softening I've seen.
