Tokina Cinema 4x5.65" Black Alchemy Diffusion Filter, 1/4 Strength

A high-quality, professional-grade product, the Cinema 4x5.65 Black Alchemy Diffusion Filter, 1/4 Strength, is an innovative solution for photographers seeking to enhance their images with a touch of dreamy softness. This versatile diffusion filter, expertly crafted by the renowned brand Tokina, is designed to subtly impact image resolution and contrast, while adding a gentle halo effect to light sources.

The Black Alchemy Diffusion Filter ingeniously combines the features of the Black Supermist 1/8 and a variable strength SoftRes filter, depending on the strength selected. This unique blend allows the filter to diffuse light in a pleasing manner, reducing high-frequency details such as wrinkles and skin blemishes, subtly raising black levels, and adding a halation bloom to light sources.

Constructed from fine black and white color particulate bonded between two pieces of Schott B270 Optical Glass, the Black Alchemy filter surpasses 4K resolution capability. The particulate size varies from slightly smaller to slightly larger than a pixel, altering incoming light to create a pleasing reduction in resolution and a slight increase in contrast, coupled with a bloom to highlights.

Available in a range of strengths from 1/16 to 1, the Black Alchemy filter offers varying levels of diffusion effect. The 1/8 and 1/4 strengths are particularly popular for their subtle effects, while the 1/2 and 1 strengths provide a stronger, more dramatic effect, ideal for dream sequence type scenes.

Tokina Cinema Diffusion filters offer photographers the creative control to tailor their images in-camera. Whether you're looking to reduce high-frequency resolution, raise black levels, bloom highlights, or create a unique combination, these filters allow you to isolate the image attributes you desire. With Tokina Cinema's extensive research into the optical diffusion combinations used in thousands of feature films, commercials, TV shows, and independent productions, you can confidently achieve the creative control you seek with the Black Alchemy Diffusion Filter.
