Hoya 67mm Black Mist Diffuser No. 0.5 Filter

This Mist Diffuser Black No. 0.5 Filter by Hoya softens light sources to produce a gentle glow around highlights. It lowers overall contrast, especially in the shadows, giving still images and videos a cinematic, film-like quality. The filter enhances halation or "blooming" of highlights and specular lights while reducing contrast, wrinkles, and skin imperfections, creating a softer, more romantic feel. Its effect is comparable to 1/8-rated cinematic mist filters.

The mist effect is achieved by evenly dispersing fine black nano powder between two layers of optical glass, which are bonded together. The optical glass ensures image clarity, while the non-multicoated surface enhances flares. Its slim aluminum frame prevents vignetting on wide-angle lenses.
