Black Mist filters are designed to give a dreamy look to images and especially videos by creating a "glow effect" to the whole image. The hard edges of the image will be softened, but the contrast in dark areas will mostly be retained. For the best effect, you want to use this filter especially around light sources. A subtle glow will be added around the bright spots. In the box you will find the filter and a nifty carrying case which can also hold other filters of different sizes. This filter produces great photos and is comparable to many other filters that cost more than this one. The strength of the effect of this 1/8 varies depending on the scene, although it can be quite dramatic in some situations compared to other 1/4 filters. But with all that said and done, this particular strength is pretty much in the middle. It's never too much and it's never too little. Great filter.

I ordered the 55mm Black Soft Diffusion 1/8 Effects Filter to use with my Nikon D5600. I am a novice user but I appreciate the effects of this filter, especially in broad daylight. The effect is subtle but effective. There is beautiful flowering and minimal color change. No loss of image quality was observed. The filter threads make it easy to screw onto my camera lens. Well packed. Useful filter to have on hand for a variety of settings.

Got this for my X100F. The filter gives my photographs a natural film look that I can't achieve in Photoshop, which is exactly what I was looking for. The 1/8th was perfect for me because I wanted a very subtle but noticeable change.
