Review Summary

I've been using the NISI 1/8 Black Mist Filter, and it hits the sweet spot. It gives that nice, subtle misty glow without going overboard. The 1/4 version has its place, but the 1/8 feels way more versatile for everyday shooting. Image quality stayed solid too. I didn't notice any weird color shifts or degradation. Just a subtle softening of images. The one downside? On the 82mm version, I did notice some vignetting when shooting at 16mm. Not a dealbreaker, but something to keep in mind if you're going wide. On my 35mm and 50mm (with the 67mm version), no issues at all.

Crafted to impart a cinematic ambiance, the NiSi Black Mist 1/4 Filter gracefully reduces highlights and gently lowers contrast, thereby achieving a dreamy, pastel-like quality of light.

Compatibility is at the core of the NiSi Swift System, and this filter exemplifies that with its ability to be used in conjunction with the swift system adapter ring or layered onto the NiSi True Color VND 1-5 stops/5-9 stops for additional light protection.

When paired with the NiSi True Color VND Swift System, the Black Mist 1/4 Filter transforms the existing 1-5 stop VND Variable ND filter into a multifaceted tool that not only controls light exposure but also adds a delicate diffusion effect. Alternatively, for those who prefer a direct approach, the filter can be attached directly to a lens using the optional adapter ring (sold separately), offering a streamlined solution for suppressing highlights and lifting shadows.
The NiSi Black Mist 1/4 Filter's ability to suppress highlights and lift shadows results in a well-balanced contrast that is essential for capturing the true essence of a scene. Light sources are rendered with a strong, yet pleasing glow, contributing to the overall atmospheric effect. This filter is not confined to portrait photography; it is equally effective in night scenes, landscapes, and still life compositions, where it introduces an extra layer of blooming and gradients to the highlights, transforming any direct light source into a more film-like, smooth, and buttery texture.
In summary, the NiSi Black Mist 1/4 Filter for the NiSi True Color VND Swift System is an indispensable accessory for creators seeking to infuse their imagery with a soft, ethereal quality, while maintaining the highest standards of image fidelity and versatility.
