The appeal of the MIST DIFFUSER BLACK is that it allows you to obtain a cinematic quality on the spot, without retouching.Thanks to its soft effect, the HOYA MIST DIFFUSER BLACK is also great for portrait shots. It smoothes skin texture and reduces overall contrast, giving models a stylish look. Compared to other soft filters, the MIST DIFFUSER BLACK does not whiten the image.The MIST DIFFUSER BLACK can also create a special atmosphere in landscape photography. For example, it makes for a fantastic atmosphere by blurring the light through the trees. If the exposure compensation is set to a brighter setting, the blurring of light becomes even stronger.MIST DIFFUSER BLACK IN VIDEOGRAPHYThe Mist Diffuser Black gives videos a classic vintage look that is reliably repeatable across various cameras and lenses. It takes away the time-consuming work to add a diffusion effect in post-production and gives camera operators and directors instant feedback on the set.CHOOSE BETWEEN NO0.5 AND NO1 FOR YOUR PREFERRED STRENGTHThe HOYA MIST DIFFUSER BLACK series is available as No0.5, for a rather mild softening effect, and No1 with a comparatively stronger effect.
