Available in softness variations of A, B, C, D, and E, the Mitchell Diffusion Filter softens colours and cuts sharpness in a scene. Often called the actor's best friend, the Mitchell Diffusion Filter softens undesirable features such as freckles, blemishes, and wrinkles, and is well-suited for use in close-ups to flatter and soften facial imperfections.

In operation, the Mitchell Diffusion Filter softens an image by refracting a portion of light as it passes through the filter. Whether softening facial features and colors, or cutting sharpness, the final effect on screen is subtle and unobtrusive.
