Description
Specification

Black Mist filters diffuse bright areas and lower highlight contrast while keeping darker parts of the image less affected. Strong light sources such as lamps or the sun gain a soft halo, while overall detail remains visible.

Key features:

reduces highlight contrast and softens bright light sources
softens the appearance of small skin imperfections in portraits
optical glass with an aluminium-alloy frame
18 coating layers on each side with a water-, oil- and dust-resistant outer layer
SR series reinforced tempered glass for improved impact resistance

Black Mist filters are often used for portraits because they can soften small skin imperfections and harsh highlights. They are also useful in night scenes with visible light sources and in stylized landscape or film shots where a gentler highlight transition is wanted.

Three strengths are available: 1/8 for the lightest diffusion, 1/4 for a moderate effect and 1/2 for the most pronounced glow and softening. These MMS versions are intended for Irix Cine lenses equipped with the front Magnetic Mount System. The 11mm T4.3 and 21mm T1.5 do not support front-mounted MMS filters.

The optical glass carries 18 coating layers on each side. Super Resistant tempered glass improves durability, while the outer NANO layer helps repel water, oil and dust and makes routine cleaning easier.

The low-profile frame is shaped for handling and direct magnetic attachment to compatible Irix Cine lenses. These MMS versions are not standard screw-in filters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Answers to common questions about the Irix Edge MMS Black Mist 1/4 SR filter.

1. What does the Black Mist 1/4 filter do?

The 1/4 version diffuses bright areas, lowers highlight contrast and creates a soft halo around strong light sources. It also softens the appearance of small skin imperfections without removing overall image detail.

2. Which Irix Cine lenses can use this front-mounted MMS filter?

It fits Irix Cine lenses equipped with the front Magnetic Mount System. The 11mm T4.3 and 21mm T1.5 are the exceptions; those two lenses do not accept front-mounted Irix Edge MMS filters.

3. Where does a Black Mist filter make the most sense?

The product is intended for situations where you want a softer look in-camera, especially portraits, night scenes with visible light sources and more stylized landscape or film shots.

4. How does it affect highlights?

Bright areas spread more gently into the surrounding image, so lamps, practical lights and the sun can produce a visible glow instead of a hard digital edge.

5. How do the 1/8, 1/4 and 1/2 strengths compare?

Among these three versions, 1/8 is the lightest effect, 1/4 sits in the middle, and 1/2 gives the most pronounced diffusion and highlight glow.

6. Does Black Mist change colour rendering?

The product data states that the filters keep colour rendering uniform while adding diffusion. The optical glass is coated to maintain image quality and control reflections.

7. What glass and coatings are used?

The filter uses optical glass with 18 coating layers on each side, an aluminium-alloy frame and Super Resistant tempered glass. The outer nano layer is resistant to water, oil and dust.
