CDF-L [PLUS]

Layer-X PLUS

CDF-L [PLUS] is a diffusion filter designed to add gentle light spread and lingering softness while preserving high-resolution detail.

In scenes with strong backlight or point light sources, highlight edges soften subtly, and the transition between light and shadow becomes smoother.
Without compromising subject detail or texture, the presence of light is quietly layered into the image.

As a Layer-X PLUS filter, it can be stacked on the front of a BASE filter when needed, allowing diffusion strength to be added selectively while maintaining the overall visual direction.

Leaving a sense of afterglow in light.

Cinematic Diffusion Filter

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.

The Layer-X PLUS Filter is an optical filter that attaches magnetically to the front of the Layer-X BASE, adding optical effects to your images.
Cross, ND, and CPL filters can be layered easily whenever they are needed, expanding creative possibilities during shooting.

Even when a PLUS Filter is added, the increase in thickness is just 3.4mm.
