I believe it's much easier to reduce the contrast of a lens than increase
it.  Someone correct me if I'm wrong:  doesn't a ND filter also reduce
contrast in addition to the light reduction (one could us a polarizer for
this too)?

Soft focus, fog, or diffusion filters typically reduce contrast, but they
also reduce resolution.
