NiSi 95mm サーキュラーブラックミスト 1/2

Finally got to test this filter during golden hour portraits, and the way it softened highlights without washing out skin tones was exactly what I needed. The 95mm size fits perfectly on my wide-angle lens, and it doesn't introduce any weird color cast.

Put this on my gimbal for a night shoot and was blown away by how naturally it handles highlights—street lamps didn't bloom into ugly halos. It’s exactly the cinematic look I was hoping for, with just enough diffusion to soften without losing sharpness.

I was a little hesitant about the price, but the way it softens harsh highlights in my city night shots is fantastic. The 1/2 strength gives just enough diffusion without making the image look foggy. Definitely a new favorite for video work too.
