The Tiffen 9 Gold Diffusion FX 2 Filterdiffuses strong light entering the lens and produces a glowing effect. While the resulting image appears softer and ethereal, there is little loss of clarity or detail. This filter works by diffusing the light entering the lens with small aberrations; by spreading the light more evenly, a soft glow is created rather than the sharp, well-defined image when shooting without a filter. In addition to the diffusion provided, a gold tint is also added to the image giving more warmth and helping to balance skin tones. This filter has a 2 density, providing a subtle amount of softening.

Tiffen filters are made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and then mounting to precision metal rings. This filter is compatible with Series 9 filter holders.

Q: 1. I just purchased the LED500 and it has a clear piece of plastic that can slide in and out and sits infront of the LED's. Can the additional filters that can be purchased be swapped out with this clear plastic or do I need the diffusion frame? I can see an answer from 2015 saying I require the frame but wondering if the units I bought in 2019 have a different design which means I don't need too?
