I agree. More robust codex something that needs the softening. The 5D does it already with its compression. Edward Smyla, I don’t think the 5D has the resolution. I agree.

Would you use this diffusion on 5d? Or only with cameras that deliver more resolution and have better codec? Shane,

Also with Vaseline on the lens, it's a no-no, always apply it to a clear filter. That way you can take the filter off when you've finished with the effect and your lens isn't ruined. White spirit is about the only way to remove the Vaseline afterwards. We always used to use black stockings for low key scenes or white for a brighter scene as it doesn’t lose you as many stops.

Sounds crazy but it works like a charm. Any residue left from the tape (usually none) is easy to clean off compared to double sided tape. Try it on a piece of glass first i.e. a window pane or filter. Rub the masking tape down with your finger if need be (avoid touching the lens of course) and peel off. Repeat if necessary.

The Boeing commercial has been all encompassing. Those are great tricks and thank you for sharing. I am glad you didn't mow your lawn months ago and sat down to read.
