This LEE Filters 216 white diffuser roll comes rolled up in a handy storage box, is 80 microns thick, two feet wide (61cm), 25 feet long (7.62m) and is quite dimensionally stable. It has a matt surface on both sides and is made from polyester - you can wear the surface to a shine by accident but its opacity comes from the body of the plastic and not from the surface so shining the surface doesn't matter unless you are pointing a camera at it.Being plastic sheet, it is waterproof and polyester has a refractive index of 1.59 whereas water is only 1.33 and salt water doesn't even get as high as 1.5 so in addition to being water proof, splashes of sea water are not going to have much effect on its optical properties either.The 216 sheet is a diffuser and if you shine a laser at it, the beam is totally diffused - there is no spot of light that shines through it. This level of diffusion does come at a price (in terms of light) and using a photographic lamp, the light remaining on the subject's surface with the filter was reduced from 1388 lux down to 400 lux which is equivalent to roughly 1.8 stops - remember that this is scattering so with a physically larger lamp, or closer up, this reduction is going to be less.In the composite of photographs with the diffuser and without, the first one is of an LED RGBCW lamp without any diffuser; the second is with the LEE 216 close to the surface of the lamp which is all you need if you don't have any shiny surfaces; and finally, it is taped to the ends of the barn doors so that if you do have shiny surfaces, they will not reflect the LED matrix.Another thing that you can do with this sheet is to use it as a backdrop and illuminate it from behind so that you can have complex illumination/colouring configurations using multiple light sources and the hardware that you use to create it is all hidden by the sheet.This sheet is an excellent resource, whether you want to diffuse light or create novel backdrops.

As a photographer, this diffusion filter has been a great tool for softening light in my shoots. It’s easy to cut and work with, giving me the control I need to create the right lighting conditions. The quality is excellent, and the compact size makes it easy to carry around. It’s ideal for both studio and location work when you need a softer, even light.

If you've done photopgrahy or videography with lighting, you've likely heard of LEE Filters. They produce great quality lighting filter products, and this is no exception. High quality material, comes with a robust storage box for keeping packed away on set, and can be cut to size easily. Price is a little high, but to be expected for the brand, you do have a "brand tax" here, but it's one that's worth paying in my opinion. Recommended!

By trade, I do a lot of studio photography. This roll of diffusion gel really helps to soften the lighting and the shadows, creating some beautiful lighting on my subjects! Because it's on a roll, it's very easy just to measure the amount off the roll you'll need and cut. the gel is also multi-use, so one roll would actually last you a really long time if you take care of it!The price may be a bit high for the general consumer, but if you like quality products, LEE definitely does deliver.
