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

A quintessential tool for cinematographers and photographers alike, the Cinema 4x5.65 Black Supermist Diffusion Filter at 1/4 strength offers a high-quality, professional-grade solution for achieving that sought-after filmic aesthetic in digital imagery. This innovative filter is expertly crafted to soften high-frequency details such as skin imperfections and wrinkles, while subtly lifting black levels to impart a classic, cinematic quality to your visuals.

Constructed with precision, the Black Supermist filter incorporates fine black particulate matter, meticulously bonded between two panes of superior Schott B270 Optical Glass, renowned for its durability and clarity that surpasses 4K resolution standards. The particulate sizes are strategically varied, ranging from just under to just over a single pixel dimension, ensuring a versatile approach to modifying incoming light. This results in a delicate balance of resolution reduction and contrast enhancement, contributing to the filter's ability to produce images with a timeless, film-like appearance.

The Tokina Cinema Diffusion Filter series, which includes the Black Supermist, is the result of extensive research and analysis of thousands of feature films, commercials, television shows, and independent projects. This comprehensive study has led to the development of four primary filter types that encapsulate the majority of optical diffusion techniques utilized in the industry today.

With the 1/4 strength option, users gain the flexibility to introduce a moderate level of diffusion, perfect for those who desire a noticeable yet unobtrusive effect. This level of diffusion is particularly effective for scenes requiring a balance between clarity and atmospheric softness. The Black Supermist filter's ability to affect contrast, halation, and resolution provides creators with the creative control necessary to isolate and enhance specific image attributes with confidence and precision.

Whether you're aiming to achieve a subtle glow in highlights, a gentle softening of the overall scene, or a unique combination tailored to your project's needs, the Cinema 4x5.65 Black Supermist Diffusion Filter at 1/4 strength stands as a durable and versatile choice for professionals seeking to elevate their visual storytelling.
