NiSi Filter Swift System Black Mist 1/8 95mm

NiSi Filter Swift System Black Mist 1/8 95mm – soft, pastel-like diffusion with black specks

Designed for use with the NiSi Swift System, the Black Mist 1/8 filter adds a controlled diffusion to your images while preserving shadow density. It creates a soft, pastel-like quality of light, diffusing highlights and helping portraits appear smoother without losing important detail.

Compatibility and mounting

You can add this Black Mist filter directly on NiSi True Color VND 1–5 stops, on NiSi Swift System VND 5–9 stops, or on a NiSi Swift System adapter ring. Therefore, it integrates with existing NiSi Swift System setups and lets you stack filters when needed.

Visual effects and use cases

First, the filter softens bright light sources by producing a pleasant diffusion. At the same time, shadows retain their shade and blackness, so you keep contrast in darker areas. Second, it lowers overall contrast and gently softens wrinkles and blemishes, which makes it useful for portrait work. Third, the Black Mist includes an extra layer of black specks that contributes to its unique texture and look.

Coating and durability

The filter uses nano coating and features waterproof and antireflective coatings. As a result, it resists water and reduces unwanted reflections on the glass surface, helping maintain image clarity and ease of maintenance.
