The PolarPro Helix MagLock Mist 1/4 filter is a round diffusion filter. It attaches magnetically to a compatible adapter ring rather than threading onto the lens, which makes it quick to swap between shots. Diffusion is rated at 1/4 strength, a moderate grade, the one most often reached for on faces. Additionally, the Helix MagLock Mist 1/4 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.
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.
Magnetic Mount
The filter snaps onto a magnetic adapter ring instead of threading on, so filters can be swapped one-handed. The adapter ring is a separate purchase.
