Nice budget diffuser
I chose this diffuser as a budget pick for a Sigma 30mm APS-C lens I use attached to a Sony FX30. The reason I got it was to lower the contrast from the lens as I was using the FX30 as an overkill webcam at my desk (we were recording a session and I didn’t use my usual video setup).

I thought it performed well, and I don’t think I’d have gone with a more expensive filter like a Glimmerglass (which I use with my Fujifilm x100v for street and nighttime photography) for this purpose. In this case, I really just wanted a more cinematic effect that would rival recording live on the FX30 and modifying the recording in post.

I still think the Glimmerglass 1 is a better choice for a more even diffusion that doesn’t look cartoonish, but this one was way better than I expected given the price.
