Excellent resource. Great work man!

[@alexiscuarezma]

thank you!

[@LazyMitchell]

Never knew white mist filters existed. You might be the first person on youtube to talk about them.

[@alexiscuarezma]

yeah, usually everyone just raves about the Black-mist ones. Glad to highlight something overlooked if someone hadn't done this already.

[@DandDs]

Short and concise explanation, great video!

[@alexiscuarezma]

thank you!

[@rowanwhile]

Thank you for sharing this! Never knew there is a white mist filter. I guess dreams do come true now. Instant subscribed!

Thanks for the comparison.
I use the following Hoya soft focus filters:
· Hoya Duto soft focus filter 77mm for 85mm Nikkor and RB67
· Hoya #B Diffuser filter 77mm for 85mm Nikkor and RB67

I love this video! May i know what strength/stop of the filter you're using?

[@alexiscuarezma]

thanks so much! When I made this Hoya didn't have strength options so it think by default they were 1 or the strongest

[@bouncinghedgehog]

Thank you! This is the only clear explanation of the difference I found.

[@alexiscuarezma]

so glad to hear! thanks the taking the time to check it out and writing a comment. Cheers!

Hi! Thanks for the very informative video! Need some clarification about diffusion filters. Firstly, I intend to broadcast video on TH-cam. What type of filter you suggest in order to make the skin smoother? (my digital video camera is Panasonic HC-V808 with 62 mm lens thread). Secondly, does a 62mm filter fits my camera or must be bigger in diameter, for example a 67 mm? Thanks in advance.

[@phambinh262]

as u said, if we need a dreamy look for pictures, white diffusion is a best choice. But why do just few people want to use it?

[@alexiscuarezma]

for some reason the "black pro-mist" is popular on TH-cam, so that's what people use

[@belenmas5738]

great video, thanks! where can i buy the white mist?

[@alexiscuarezma]

Hoya filters has them

[@RvSTuDi0Zz]

I have a Sony zve-10 camera do you know what size I should get for my camera it’s the kit lens 50mm

[@alexiscuarezma]

look on the lens. It normally states the filter size or you can always google it.

[@Seanonyoutube]

Awesome demonstration. Thanks!

[@alexiscuarezma]

Thanks for watching. Cheers!

[@infinitychamber]

Great video dude!

[@alexiscuarezma]

thanks! Glad you enjoyed it

[@talleyrand9442]

Interesting! Do you know how these two Hoya's compare to the effects from the Tiffen Pro Mist line of filters?

[@alexiscuarezma]

I would imagine they are pretty similar w/ the only difference being that Tiffen offers different strengths.

[@christiancumberlander8562]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@rodrigo8269]

thanks for the video!

[@alexiscuarezma]

Thanks for watching. cheers!

[@jarrodbarker]

Actually you got it backwards, wider focal lengths require higher strengths of filtration.

[@alexiscuarezma]

Interesting, thanks for the feedback

[@netosantiago398]
