About Hoya 77mm Mist Diffuser Black No. 0.5 Glass Filter

The Mist Diffuser Black is a soft-type filter that diffuses light and suppresses the contrast between highlights and shadows to create exquisite nuances reminiscent of a scene in a movie. The beauty of the Mist Diffuser Black is that you can obtain cinematic textures on the spot, without retouching.

Type No. 0.5
The Mist Diffuser Black No. 0.5 has a rather subtle diffusing effect, making the filter perfect in settings with strong backlighting.

In Video & Cinema
The cinematic effect is not only great in photography, but also excels in videos and movies. It pushes a little bit back that recent trend of "over sharpness" and gives a vintage look that is reliably repeatable across various cameras and lenses.

The Mist Diffuser Black also takes away the time-consuming work to add a diffusion effect in post-production and provides instant feedback on the set.

Features

For An Impressive Light In Nightscape
Through diffusing light around light sources and suppressing shadow contrasts, the image gets a stylish cinematic look. In contrast to common soft-filters, the Mist Diffuser Black does not whiten the image.

Smoothens Skin
Through its soft-effect, the Mist Diffuser Black smoothens skin texture and reduces overall contrast. This gives models a stylish look, which makes the filter perfect for portrait shots.

Scenes

Fantastic Sunlight Filtering
In landscape photography, the Mist Diffuser Black can create an impressive atmosphere through diffusing sunlight. Works especially well with sunlight coming through a tree crown.

Cinematic Sunsets
Even with backlighting, the contrast between highlights and shadows are softened without whitening the image. The filter softly blurs the light around the object and creates a mood characteristic of black mist.

Comparison

Difference between No. 0.5 and No1
Compared to other soft filters, the Mist Diffuser Black No. 1 does not whiten the image, and compared to the No. 0.5, has a greater light diffusing effect in strong backlighting or night scenes. The No. 0.5 creates a more subtle effect, making the filter perfect even with strong backlighting or in situations with strong light sources close to the camera.

Night Life
In nightlife street photography, both No. 0.5 and No. 1 can be used. If there are light sources close to the camera, the diffusing effect of No. 1 may turn out too strong, so the No. 0.5 is in such a situation more suitable.

Nightscape
In nightscape photography with light sources far away, the effect of No. 0.5 might be a little bit too subtle. The No. 1 will achieve a clearer effect in such a situation.

Backlighting
In settings with backlighting, the choice of the filter depends on the strength of light. With strong backlighting, the No. 0.5 tends to be the preferred filter. With a weak backlight, the No. 1 is recommended to make the effect more visible.

Low Light Situation
In low light situations, like a tree in the shadow in the example above, the No. 1 is recommended to achieve an effect that will stand out more clearly. For photographers who prefer a subtle effect, the No. 0.5 will be a better fit.

Tips
• Mist Diffuser Black No. 0.5 is suitable for night scenes and backlit scenes when the sun starts to set
• The soft effect is stronger when the focal length of the lens is on the telephoto side and weaker at the wide-angle side
• The effect may vary depending on the type of light source and other shooting conditions like for example shutter speed
• The effect seen in the viewfinder and the result of shooting (depending on print, monitor size, etc.) may differ
• The final result will also change depending on the exposure compensation, so it is recommended to use exposure compensation if necessary
