Cinematic Diffusion Filter

Leaving a sense of afterglow in light.

CDF (Cinematic Diffusion Filter) is a filter designed to layer a subtle spread of light and lingering afterglow into both still images and video.
Built upon the high-resolution rendering of modern cameras and lenses, it adds a slight sense of fluctuation and spatial distance as light travels through space.
A restrained softness appears around highlights, while gentle tonal transitions emerge between light and shadow.
Maintaining clarity and resolution, CDF guides images toward a cinematic, analog-inspired look.

Technology

The Technology That Shapes Our Products

Layer-X BASE Filter

An optical filter that screws onto the front of the lens.
The front magnetic structure allows ND, CPL, and other PLUS filters to be layered.

NanoAR Coating

By reducing unwanted reflections,
this ultra-low-reflection coating preserves clarity, tonal detail, and high-resolution rendering.

Diffusion Glass

While subtly diffusing light,
this optical glass layers natural softness on a foundation of high-resolution rendering.

Hydro Shield Coating

With water-repellent and anti-smudge coatings applied to both sides, water droplets and dirt are less likely to adhere, ensuring ease of handling even during everyday shooting.

CDF-L

A diffusion filter that preserves high-resolution detail while adding a gentle afterglow to backlight and point light sources.

Choose S or L by the Spread of Light

S (Soft Light) keeps light diffusion subtle, preserving edge definition and resolution while adding gentle changes to highlights and contrast. L (Light) allows light to spread more visibly, bringing stronger bloom in highlights and a more pronounced sense of atmosphere across the frame.

Layer-X BASE Filter

Layer-X BASE Filter is an optical filter that attaches to the front of the lens using a standard screw-in mount.
The front surface is equipped with both a built-in magnetic structure and a threaded mount, allowing PLUS filters such as ND, CPL, or cross filters to be layered when needed.
In addition to magnetic PLUS filters, standard lens caps and conventional screw-in filters can also be attached, so the handling remains familiar in everyday use.
The BASE filter blends naturally into daily shooting and serves as the starting point of the Layer-X system, expanding how light can be handled to suit different shooting styles.
