NiSi 103416 Allure Mist Black 1/4 Filter

The NiSi Allure Mist Black 1/4 filter is a cinema-grade diffusion filter built for filmmakers who want to add a soft, ethereal quality to their footage without resorting to heavy post-processing. Constructed from high-quality optical glass in the standard 4x5.65" rectangular format, it slots directly into professional matte box systems commonly used on cinema camera rigs. The "Mist Black" diffusion type works by gently scattering highlights and lowering overall contrast, producing a pleasing halation glow around light sources while keeping the core image relatively sharp.

At 1/4 stop strength, this filter sits on the subtler end of the diffusion spectrum, making it a versatile choice for dialogue scenes, interviews, and beauty work where you want to soften skin imperfections and take the clinical edge off modern digital sensors without an obviously filtered appearance. The 4mm thickness is standard for most cinema matte boxes, and the included filter pouch provides basic protection for the glass when not in use. For filmmakers who want stronger diffusion, NiSi offers higher densities in the same Allure Mist Black line that can also be stacked for cumulative effect.
