* Blow on your lens and let your breath condense there. Quickly press the shutter release before the condensation evaporates--it works surprisingly well.
* Crumple a piece of cellophane, flatten it out, and hold it in front of your lens or secure it there with a rubber band.
* Take a clear or skylight filter and spray it lightly with hair spray, add dabs of clear nail polish, or a spread a thin layer of petroleum jelly (Vaseline) over it.
* Take a clear or skylight filter and use a fine-point black permanent marker to cover the entire surface with tiny dots.
* Stretch taut a piece of black net or panty hose over your lens. Secure it with a rubber band.

That is worth a try as soon as I get my 5D.

this thread is (was) beautiful.
Hope someone likes to share his find on effective soft/diffusion filters.
Or you all just end up living with it?

I'm curious too... did anyone end up buying any of these soft filters? I'd love to see some before/after shots.
