NiSi Filter Swift System Black Mist 1/4 – Soft pastel diffusion with black specks

This NiSi Swift System Black Mist 1/4 filter adds a soft, pastel-like quality to your images while preserving shadow depth. It diffuses light sources to create pleasant halation and, at the same time, keeps shadows dark and defined. Photographers and filmmakers can use it to lower contrast slightly and to soften skin imperfections, making it particularly useful for portrait work.
