Kondor Blue has collaborated with Element Filters to produce Opaline Diffusion filters. The filters are currently only available in two strengths, 1/4 (KB-ODF-14) and 1/8 (KB-ODF-18).
With Opaline, the primary focus is on white halation diffusion, providing a natural halo & glow to practical lights in your frame. Opaline also adds in a splash of black diffusion particles to help maintain contrast and smooth skin complexions.

One of the critical elements of filters is the quality and consistency of the glass, and unfortunately, the more you spend doesn’t necessarily translate to better glass.
Instead of starting their own line of filters, they opted to collabarate with Element Filters to bring their diffusion recipe to the market but in a new light, using all-new ultra slim 2mm filters housed in a premium aluminum enclosure. This enclosure is screw free, so there aren’t any unwanted seam lines, weight, or spots for gunk to build up.
Kondor Blue has added small corner indents for both filter labeling and fingerprint-free handling when swapping filters.
Price & Availability
The 4×5.65″ Opaline Diffusion Filters are available for $189 USD.
