Tilta TF-95-BM Illusion 95mm Black Mist 1/8 Filter

The Tilta TF-95-BM Illusion 95mm Black Mist Filter in 1/8 intensity is designed for cinematographers and videographers who want to introduce a controlled, organic quality to digital footage without compromising the technical integrity of the image. Black mist filters work by scattering light around high-contrast edges and bright sources — practical lights, windows, specular reflections — creating a soft, luminous quality that mimics the look of older, less optically perfect lens systems. The 1/8 grade is the most restrained option in the Tilta lineup, making it well-suited to narrative work, commercial production, and any context where the effect needs to be felt rather than seen.

Built specifically for the Tilta Mirage Matte Box system, the TF-95-BM uses optical glass with multi-coating to preserve color accuracy and resist contamination from dust and fingerprints on set. At 3.74 x 3.74 inches and just 0.04 inches thick, it's one of the thinner filter options in this format class — a design choice that meaningfully reduces front-end weight on gimbal and shoulder rig configurations. The true color rendition keeps skin tones and neutrals predictable, which is critical when working with log-encoded footage destined for a color grade. For shooters already invested in the Tilta Mirage ecosystem, the Illusion filter line is a natural and well-integrated creative tool.
