NiSi Filter Black Mist Kit 55mm – 1/4 & 1/8 Black Mist Filters for Pleasant Diffusion
This NiSi Black Mist Kit includes two circular filters in 55mm size, a NiSi filter pouch and a cleaning cloth. The filters add character and a soft diffusion to light sources while keeping shadows dark and preserving overall image depth. You can use them to lower contrast and subtly soften skin imperfections, which makes them useful for many shooting situations.
What’s in the kit
- Two circular Black Mist filters: 1/4 and 1/8 strengths (55mm)
- NiSi filter pouch for circular filters
- Cleaning cloth
How the Black Mist filters affect your images
The filters introduce a gentle diffusion that changes highlights without eliminating shadow density. As a result, light sources get a pleasant, softened glow while shadows retain their shade and blackness. At the same time, the filters lower contrast and soften wrinkles and blemishes, producing a more forgiving look on skin and small details.
Available strengths and design note
NiSi Black Mist filters come in three strengths: 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8. The 1/2 strength produces the strongest effect, while the 1/8 strength yields only a small effect. Many strategies exist for using diffusion and softening techniques; these filters offer a simple, optical way to achieve that atmosphere without complex post-processing.
Key specifications
- Creates a soft, pastel-like quality of light

FAQ
Question: Will the 55mm filters fit my lens?
Answer: The filters in this kit are 55mm. They fit lenses that use a 55mm filter thread. If your lens has a different thread size, use a step-up or step-down adapter ring to match the filter.
Question: How noticeable is the difference between 1/4 and 1/8?
Answer: The 1/4 strength offers a more visible mist effect than 1/8, while 1/8 gives only a small diffusion. Choose 1/4 for a more pronounced softening and 1/8 for subtler results. The 1/2 option (available separately) delivers the strongest effect.
Question: Does the filter remove shadow detail?
Answer: No. These Black Mist filters are designed to soften highlights and lower contrast while allowing shadows to retain their shade and blackness, so shadow detail remains preserved.
Question: How should I store and carry the filters?
Answer: Use the included NiSi filter pouch. It is semi-soft and lightweight, fits easily in a camera bag, and can be mounted on a tripod leg for quick access. The pouch holds up to four circular filters up to 95mm.
