NiSi Cinema 4×5.65″ Black Pro Mist Filter: Achieve a Cinematic Softness
The NiSi Cinema 4×5.65″ Black Pro Mist Filter is a professional-grade glass filter designed to impart a subtle yet impactful cinematic softness to your images and footage. This filter gently lowers contrast and creates a halation effect around highlights, giving your visuals a filmic and organic feel. It’s a valuable tool for filmmakers and photographers looking to soften digital sharpness, control highlights, and add a touch of atmosphere to their work.
Subtle Softness and Highlight Bloom:
The Black Pro Mist filter works by subtly diffusing light, which results in a pleasing softening of details and a gentle blooming effect around bright highlights. This blooming effect is particularly noticeable on specular highlights and light sources within the frame, creating a characteristic glow often seen in classic cinema. Unlike traditional diffusion filters that can overly soften the overall image, the Black Pro Mist is designed to maintain clarity in the darker areas, preserving detail while adding its signature softness to the highlights.
Controlled Contrast Reduction:
In addition to softening, the Black Pro Mist filter also gently lowers overall contrast. This can be particularly beneficial in high-contrast scenes, helping to balance the exposure and prevent highlights from clipping too harshly. The controlled reduction in contrast contributes to a more film-like dynamic range and a smoother tonal transition.
Ideal for Digital Sharpness Reduction:
Modern digital cameras often produce incredibly sharp and detailed images, which can sometimes appear overly clinical. The Black Pro Mist filter offers an effective way to subtly reduce this digital sharpness, imparting a more organic and cinematic texture to your footage and stills. It helps to take the “edge” off the digital look without significantly blurring fine details.
Available in Various Strengths:
The NiSi Cinema Black Pro Mist filter is available in different strengths (e.g., 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2). The strength of the filter determines the intensity of the softening and highlight bloom effect. Lower strengths provide a very subtle effect, while higher strengths offer a more pronounced cinematic look. This allows you to choose the perfect level of diffusion to match your creative vision and the specific needs of your project.
High-Quality Optical Glass and Coating:
NiSi is known for its commitment to optical excellence, and this filter is no exception. It is constructed from high-quality optical glass that ensures minimal distortion and maintains the sharpness of your lens. The filter also features NiSi’s advanced multi-layer coating, which reduces internal reflections, minimizes flare and ghosting, and provides excellent light transmission. This ensures that the filter does not negatively impact the overall image quality or color accuracy.

The 4×5.65″ size is a standard dimension in the film and video industry, making this filter compatible with a wide range of professional matte boxes and filter holders. This ensures easy integration into existing professional camera setups.
