Filter Highlights:

• Soft Cinematic Effect: Reduces contrast and bloom highlights for a filmic, artistic look

• Dual Variants: Available to purchase seperatly in both White Mist and Black Mist styles

• Superior Coating: Multi-Resistant Coating (MRC) Nano layer repels water, oil, and dust

• Made in Germany: Precision optical engineering and robust build quality

• Creative Versatility: Perfect for photography, videography, interviews, fashion, and social content

• No Exposure Extension Required: But slight exposure compensation (+1/3 to +1/2 stops) is recommended

Pro Tips for Best Results:

• Use in scenes with backlighting, highlights, or reflective surfaces for pronounced effects

• Avoid very narrow apertures (e.g. f/22), as the diffusion pattern may become too visible

• Ideal apertures: around f/11 at 50mm full-frame, or f/5.6 at 28mm full-frame

• Telephoto lenses (85mm and above) are less sensitive to diffusion patterns

• Experiment with bracketing exposures to fine-tune the mood and light balance
