Diffuser number 2 makes the light denser than number 1. The light becomes softer and more homogeneous but also a little less sculptural. Direct reflections in eyes or on similar surfaces appear as almost homogeneous white areas, and the additional scattered light in the studio reduces contrast. Unlike with number 3, however, some of the light can still pass through the diffuser without scattering, and the typical Para FB and Para 88 light characteristics are retained to a somewhat lesser extent for Para.
