About Tokina Black Alchemy

Black Alchemy is a diffusion filter designed to affect resolution and contrast with a slight boost of halation to light sources. This is a combination of the Black Supermist 1/8 with a variable strength of SoftRes filter depending on the strength selected. Black Alchemy diffuses in a pleasing manner by reducing high frequency details like wrinkles and blemishes in skin while raising black levels slightly and adding halation bloom to light sources.

Black Alchemy is made of fine black and white color particulate that is bonded between two pieces of Schott B270 Optical Glass which exceeds 4K resolution capability. The particulate ranges in size from slightly smaller than a pixel to slightly larger than a pixel size to alter incoming light that creates the pleasing reduction in resolution and a slight raise in contrast with bloom to highlights.

Available in strengths of 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, and 1. This is a strong diffusion effect and therefore 1/8 and 1/4 strengths are most popular. Strengths 1/2 and 1 are reserved for a strong dramatic effect or dream sequence type scene.

Tokina Cinema Diffusion

Diffusion filters give you creative control of your image in camera. Choose to reduce high frequency resolution, raise black levels, bloom highlights, or tailor a combination that is unique to your scene.

All diffusion filters affect three areas of your image; Contrast, Halation, and Resolution.

Tokina Cinema has analyzed data from thousands of feature films, commercials, TV shows, and independent productions to find the most relevant optical diffusion combinations being used today. This data has been distilled into four basic filter types that replicate the vast majority of in-camera diffusion today. Isolate the image attributes you want for creative control with confidence.
