NiSi Allure Mist White/Black Diffusion and Black Magic screw-in circular filters

Backlit portrait with a NiSi diffusion filter

NiSi Allure Mist and Black Magic Diffusion circular filters reduce the contrast and excessive sharpness of modern lenses: they soften light and skin, especially in close-ups.

In film and video production they’re considered essential. There are three effects: Black Magic Diffusion, White Mist and Black Mist, screw-in and, for cinema, in 4×5.65″ and 6.6×6.6″ formats.

What’s your lens diameter?

You’ll find it on the barrel or on the back of the lens cap, next to the ⌀ symbol. Or search for your lens.

Three effects, the same scene

The circular White Mist comes in 1/4. The Black Mist comes in 1/8, 1/4 and 1/2: 1/2 gives the strongest effect, 1/4 is a good starting point. The Black Magic Diffusion comes in 1/4.
