This NiSi Black Mist kit for 43mm filters includes three circular diffusion filters in strengths 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8, plus a NiSi filter pouch and a cleaning cloth. Each filter softens highlights while maintaining the depth of shadows. The kit gives you controlled diffusion, reduced contrast and subtle softening without excessive loss of detail.
NiSi Black Mist Filters add a layer of diffusion that interacts with bright points of light to produce a pleasant, controlled glow. At the same time, shadows retain their shade and blackness, so you keep contrast in dark areas while softening highlights.
Consequently, the filters lower overall contrast and soften wrinkles and blemishes. This combination provides a more forgiving image rendering where necessary, while preserving important image structure and detail.
The set contains three strengths. The 1/2 filter produces the strongest effect, 1/4 offers a medium amount of diffusion, and 1/8 delivers a subtle, barely-there effect. Together they give you flexible control over how much diffusion you apply to a scene.
The included NiSi Filter Pouch for Circular Filters features a semi-soft, lightweight design that fits easily in your camera bag. You can also mount it on a tripod leg for quick access during shoots. The pouch holds up to four circular filters with a maximum filter size of 95 mm.
