Calumet Black Mist 1⁄2 / 1⁄4 SMC Ultra Slim 28 Layers effect filter – Soft light, analog character.
Make your photos unique and aesthetically pleasing with the Calumet Black Mist SMC Ultra Slim filter. Mist filters, also known as diffusion filters, are special lens caps that affect the appearance of a photo. Their effect is to diffuse the light reaching the lens, resulting in a subtle blurring of the image and the creation of a characteristic “fog” effect.
(Filter available in sizes 52 mm to 82 mm)
Application
Mist filters are popular in various genres of photography, including:
- Portraits: Mist filters can soften facial features and cover up minor imperfections for a natural “beauty” effect.
- Landscapes: Mist filters can give photos a phenomenal, dreamlike feel, especially when shooting at sunrise and sunset.
- Night photography: Mist filters can help blur artificial light sources and create a more atmospheric, nostalgic mood.
- Imitation of analog photography: Mist filters can imitate the distinctive look of photos taken on film.
Action
Mist filters work by scattering light passing through the lens. This happens due to microscopic irregularities on the surface of the filter. The scattered light causes:
- Lower the contrast: Dark areas of the photo become lighter and light areas darker, giving the photo a more subdued feel.
- Gentle blur: The image becomes less sharp, which may be desirable to hide minor imperfections or create a more artistic effect.
- The emergence of “fog.” A subtle glow around light sources appears in the photo, which can give it a magical, nostalgic atmosphere.
Calumet Black Mist SMC Ultra Slim filter with 28 multilayer coatings
Filters from the Calumet Black Mist SMC Ultra Slim with 28 Layers line feature 28 multilayer coatings to ensure the highest quality without negatively affecting the optics used in the lens. The filters are durable, and thanks to the coatings used, keeping them clean is extremely easy.
- Hydrophobic coating (makes water droplets do not settle on the surface and running off does not leave stains)
- Oleophobic coating (Greasy marks are much harder to stick to the surface and easier to remove)
- Scratch-resistant coating (Ensures long-lasting usability of the filter by protecting it from mechanical damage such as scratches and scrapes)
- Anti-reflective coating (Eliminates unwanted reflections and glare)
Japanese AGC Glass
You don’t have to worry about loss of image quality – the filter uses Japanese AGC glass, which has a neutral effect on color temperature and does not cause rippling. In addition, the use of 6H hardness glass makes the filter even more resistant to mechanical damage, guaranteeing long-lasting functionality.
Sleek Aircraft Aluminum Frame, tabs for easy unscrewing
The slim 3.3mm thick aerospace aluminum frame is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also a solid protection for your lens. Equipped with tabs for easy unscrewing, the frame not only makes the filter easy to handle, but also adds elegance to the overall design.
Protective Box Included
Your filter deserves the best protection. The kit comes with a protective box that not only protects your filter from damage during storage, but also makes it easy to transport – perfect for active photographers.
Simple Operation, Great Effects
With simple installation and removal, our filter provides easy handling, allowing quick adaptation to changing photographic conditions. The tabs located on the holder make it much easier to mount/remove the filter on the lens. Attaching the filter is done by screwing it onto the lens – in order to select a filter of the right size, check the thread diameter of the lens on which it is to be attached (usually this information can be found on the lens or lens cap and is marked with a Φ sign, e.g. Φ52 mm).
Versatile Application
The double threading on Calumet filters opens the door to creativity by allowing two filters or accessories to be used simultaneously. It’s a practical solution for photography enthusiasts who want maximum flexibility in adapting their gear to different conditions and photographic needs.
Mist filter selection
Mist filters are available in different variants, which differ in the degree of blurring. Filters with a weaker effect (e.g. 1/8 or 1/4) produce a subtle effect, while filters with a stronger effect (e.g. ½ or 1) produce a pronounced blurring of the image. The choice of filter should depend on the desired effect and the type of scene being photographed. For example, a weaker-action filter may work well for portraits, while a stronger-action filter may be better for night photography.
