Manfrotto Reflector 120 cm Diffuser -2 f-stops. Diffusion screens are used between the light source and the subject to create a softer light. Diffusion screens are available with different densities. This diffusion screen takes -2 f-stops. Diffuser can also be used to dim a strong light source. Sunlight from a clear sky gives very hard light which results in high contrast and sharp shadows. Without diffuser the shadows become completely black without coverage or the illuminated side is overexposed. Reflectors come in a variety of colours and sizes and work by bouncing light back onto a subject, usually acting as a fill light. Diffusers have a translucent surface which is one of the most useful surfaces in lighting as it softens and reduces the amount of light travelling through.
