NiSi Filter Highlight Diffusion HDF 1/2 For Fuji X100 Series (Silver)

NiSi Filter Highlight Diffusion HDF 1/2 For Fuji X100 Series (Silver) – Diffuse highlights while preserving contrast

Combine cinema-grade diffusion technology with precision engineering designed for the Fujifilm X100 platform. This NiSi Highlight Diffusion HDF 1/2 adds a film-inspired look to images by diffusing highlights, while preserving contrast, clarity and the full tonal range of the scene. The filter achieves this with advanced micro-lens technology aimed specifically at controlling bright points without flattening mid-tones and shadows.

Key features

• Contrast-preserving clarity – Unlike standard Black Mist filters that tend to flatten contrast, the HDF maintains the original tonal balance. It keeps shadows rich and mid-tones vibrant while softening and shaping highlights.
• Multi-layer nano coating – Dual-sided nano anti-glare coatings reduce lens flare and make maintenance easier. The coatings are waterproof and oil-resistant, helping to repel moisture and fingerprints in challenging shooting conditions.
• Precision crafted for Fujifilm X100 series – The filter is specifically designed for the X100, X100S, X100F, X100T, X100V and X100VI models. It screws directly onto the camera after removing the existing ring, with no adapter needed.
• Macro-friendly design – The HDF includes dedicated clearance for extending lens barrels, so you can focus down to the lens’s minimum distance without restriction.
• Original lens cap compatibility – The filter remains compatible with the original X100V and X100VI lens caps, allowing convenient protection when the filter is mounted.
• Available in silver and black – Choose a finish that complements your camera: the product is offered in Silver and also in Black.
• Robust lens protection – In addition to its diffusion effect, the filter shields the front element from scratches, dust and moisture to protect your lens investment.
• Simple, direct attachment – One-piece design preserves the camera’s compact profile and the iconic look of the Fujifilm X100 series while providing a seamless, integrated fit.
