The PolarPro 49mm McKinnon 135 Series Black Mist filter is a round 49mm diffusion filter. It attaches to a lens's 49mm front thread and can be stacked with other filters via its own 49mm thread. Diffusion is rated at 1/4 strength, a moderate grade, the one most often reached for on faces. Additionally, the 49mm McKinnon 135 Series Black Mist features a 16-layer multicoating that minimizes internal ghosting and reflections.
Key Features
Soft Focus/Diffusion Filter
A diffusion filter lowers contrast and blooms highlights, softening digital sharpness in a way that is difficult to reproduce convincingly in post.
Round Screw-In Format
The filter threads directly onto the front of a lens, which suits handheld and location work where a matte box would be in the way.
49mm Filter Thread
The filter threads onto a 49mm front thread. A lens with a different thread needs a step ring.
49mm Front Thread
The front of the filter carries its own 49mm thread, so a second filter or a hood can be mounted in front of it.
1/4 Diffusion
Diffusion is rated at 1/4 strength, a moderate grade, the one most often reached for on faces.
16-Layer Multi-Coating
The glass carries a 16-layer multicoating that minimizes internal ghosting and reflections.
