K&F Concept Nano-X Black Mist 1/2 72mm Diffusion Filter

K&F Concept Nano-X Black Mist 1/2 with a diameter of 72 mm is a high-quality diffusion filter made of hardened optical glass. It has numerous anti-reflective and protective nano-coatings , thanks to which the image recorded with its use is free of reflections and retains natural, saturated colors, while the lens itself is resistant to accidental damage.

The use of diffusion filters allows you to capture a softer, organic image that is more natural in reception, which can bring to mind analogue film or film. Modern digital cameras and video camcorders often record images of such high quality that in the final effect its "cinematic" effect is lost. A diffusion filter reduces the contrast of the scene and creates a soft glow around light sources. The dynamic range of the scene becomes larger, and the transitions between the dark and light parts of the image become smoother. Black Mist 1/2 also affects the exposure of the scene by letting 79% of the light through, which should be corrected by shutter speed, aperture value or choosing a higher ISO. Softening the image at the level of 1/2 allows you to obtain a vivid image, especially when working on a film set with many sources of artificial light.

The Nano-X filter series is an accessory covered with numerous coatings that improve the quality of the recorded image. They provide protection against unwanted glare, water or greasy stains. There are no stains on the lenses, and fingerprints or other impurities are very easy to remove. Hardened optical glass is resistant to scratches, cracks or chips. Nano-X also offers filters with thin rings. Their aluminium and electroplated frame is only 3.3 mm wide and allows you to work with wide-angle lenses without worrying about a vignette, while its fine grooves make it easy to wind and protect against jamming.

Their numerous protective coatings improve image quality and effectively protect the glass surface from scratches or dirt.
