Review Summary

1/8
Where professional photography meets artistic expression, the Cinema 4x5.65 Black Supermist Diffusion Filter, 1/8 Strength, stands out as a high-quality, versatile, and effective tool. This durable diffusion filter, crafted by the reputable brand Tokina, is designed to subtly enhance image resolution in a pleasing manner.
The Black Supermist filter is expertly engineered to reduce high-frequency details such as skin imperfections and wrinkles, while slightly elevating black levels to create a film-like aesthetic. This unique effect is achieved through the use of fine black particulate, bonded between two pieces of Schott B270 Optical Glass, a material known for its superior 4K resolution capability.
The black particulate, varying in size from slightly smaller to slightly larger than a pixel, alters incoming light to produce a pleasing reduction in resolution and a subtle increase in contrast. This results in a "film-like" look that softens the sharpness of modern high-resolution images and optics, without being overly noticeable to the viewer.
Available in strengths of 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, and 1, the 1/8 strength filter is the most popular choice for photographers seeking a slight diffusion effect. The Cinema 4x5.65 Black Supermist Diffusion Filter gives you the creative control to reduce high-frequency resolution, bloom highlights, or tailor a unique combination to your scene.
Tokina Cinema has utilized data from thousands of feature films, commercials, TV shows, and independent productions to create diffusion filters that replicate the most relevant optical diffusion combinations used today. With this filter, you can confidently isolate the image attributes you desire, offering you unparalleled creative control in-camera.
