This NiSi Black Mist kit for 77mm lenses includes three circular Black Mist filters in strengths 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8, plus a NiSi filter pouch and a cleaning cloth. It adds controlled diffusion to highlights while keeping shadows dark, reduces contrast and softens skin imperfections — features useful when you want a gentler, film-like look in your images.
The NiSi Black Mist filters create a soft, pastel-like quality of light while introducing an extra layer of black specks. As a result, light sources receive pleasant diffusion, yet shadows retain their shade and blackness. In practice, the filters lower contrast and soften wrinkles and blemishes, which makes them great for shooting where a softer overall look is desired.
Importantly, these filters provide little loss of detail across the image compared to traditional diffusion filters. Therefore, you achieve a softened atmosphere without sacrificing important image information.
Use stronger settings for pronounced diffusion and mood; choose lighter settings when you want only a hint of softening.
The NiSi Filter Pouch for Circular Filters features a semi-soft, lightweight design that fits easily in a camera bag. You can also mount it on a tripod leg for quick access and practical use. The pouch holds up to 4 circular filters with a maximum filter size of 95 mm.

question: What does each strength mean and how do I choose?
