Retra Shark Diffuser
The Retra Shark Diffuser is engineered specifically for photographing pelagics, schools of fish, and silver-bellied subjects that easily blow out under direct flash.
Overview
By shifting the color temperature by -1000K and cutting light output by -0.8 F-stop, the Shark Diffuser delivers Retra's warmest and most dramatic light softening effect. The heavy diffusion prevents overexposing reflective undersides on sharks and rays, while the significant warm shift creates rich contrast that makes background blue water pop with vibrant color.
Key Features
-
Maximum Warmth (-1000K): Significantly warms the flash output to deepen ambient blue water backgrounds and give marine life natural, rich color.
-
High Diffusion (-0.8 F-stop): Tames harsh reflections to eliminate blown-out highlights on white or metallic surfaces like shark bellies and silver fish.
-
Designed for Pelagics & Large Subjects: Tailored specifically for large-animal encounters, wide-angle reef scenes, and dense schools of fish.
-
Bayonet Mount System: Mounts quickly onto the front of your strobe using Retra’s twist-lock bayonet mechanism, making it simple to swap diffusers in the field.
-
Safety Tether Loop: Features a dedicated attachment point for a lanyard to keep the diffuser secure in heavy current or surge conditions.
