About NiSi Black Mist filters and strengths

NiSi Black Mist filters come in three strengths: 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8. The 1/2 strength produces the strongest effect, while 1/8 gives a subtle, small effect. This 43mm kit contains the 1/4 and 1/8 strengths so you can choose between a noticeable softening and a lighter diffusion depending on the look you want.

Photographers and filmmakers use Black Mist filters to soften excess sharpness and contrast and to create atmosphere in images. In practice, these filters diffuse bright highlights without blowing them out and retain black tones in shadow areas, which preserves the image’s depth.

Key characteristics

• Creates a soft, pastel-like quality of light
• Includes an extra layer of black specks to shape the diffusion
• Provides minimal loss of detail across the image compared to traditional diffusion filters
