K&F Concept Nano-X Black Mist 1/8 58mm Diffusion Filter

Black Mist 1/8 Nano-X with a diameter of 58 mm is a diffusion filter by K&F Concept, made of high-quality hardened optical glass. It has been covered with special anti-reflective nano-coatings and is characterized by high light transmission. It guarantees the highest quality image, free of accidental glitter or unsightly color.

The diffusion filter gives the digital image a more organic, analogue character. Modern cameras and video cameras record images of such high quality and detail that for many people it is even unnatural in reception. The Black Mist filter gently reduces the contrast of the scene and creates a soft glow around light sources. It increases the tonal range of the image, and the transitions between light and dark areas become smoother. It also has a slight effect on the exposure, allowing 87% of light to pass through, which - depending on the conditions and the expected effect - should be corrected by changing the aperture, ISO or exposure time. Subtle softening at the level of 1/8 makes the effect very delicate, so filters with such parameters can be used not only on the film set, but also in portraits.

The Nano-X series proposed by K&F Concept is a professional photographic filter with numerous anti-reflective and protective coatings. They effectively reduce the formation of light flashes, thus increasing the clarity of the shot. The optical glass from which it is made is also characterized by increased resistance to mechanical damage and dirt - there are no scratches or chips on it, and fingerprints or other stains are very easy to remove. There are also no water stains on the surface of the filter. Nano-X are slim filters - their aluminum and electroplated frame is only 3.3 mm wide, which allows you to work with wide-angle lenses without fear of a vignette, and its profiling protects against jamming, making it easier to install and disassemble.

Use

Modern video cameras can boast of more and more advanced components, guaranteeing a high-quality image – sharp and full of details. However, this is not always the desired effect, and in some situations, especially on a film set, a digital image can give the impression of being artificial. The answer to this is diffusion filters, referred to as mist. They are available in different variants - most often diffusion occurs at the level of 1/4 or 1/8. The value of 1/8 means a very subtle softening, thanks to which filters with this value are successfully used not only on the film set, but also in portrait photography. They have a beneficial effect on the appearance of the skin, reducing the appearance of pores or fine lines. The Nano-X series of filters are high-quality accessories that will meet the expectations of even the most demanding customers. Their numerous protective coatings improve image quality and effectively protect the glass surface from scratches or dirt.
