The Mist Diffuser Black No. 0.5 filter from Hoya diffuses light sources to create a soft glowing effect around highlights. It reduces overall contrast, especially in shadows, helping to achieve a cinematic look in still images and video.

The result includes:

• Increased halo around highlights
• Reduction of contrast, wrinkles, and skin blemishes
• Creation of a softer and more romantic appearance

The cinematic fog effect is created by evenly distributing a fine black nano powder between two layers of optical glass. The filter is made of optical glass to maintain image detail, while the slim aluminum frame allows for use with wide-angle lenses without vignetting.
