The Urth 52mm Ethereal 1 Black Mist Filter Plus+ is a high-quality optical filter for photographers and videographers looking to create atmospheric, cinematic effects. This 52mm diameter filter features a subtle black mist coating that reduces contrast and softens highlights while maintaining overall image sharpness. It is ideal for portrait photography, landscape shots, and video production. The multi-layer nano-coating technology minimizes reflections and ghosting while providing enhanced protection against moisture, dust, and fingerprints. Made from high-quality optical glass with a precision-engineered aluminum frame, this filter ensures consistent optical quality across the entire image field without color casts or distortions. Its slim profile prevents vignetting with wide-angle lenses, and the front threads allow for stacking additional filters if needed. The black mist effect creates a gentle diffusion that gives images a dreamy quality, softens skin tones in portraits, and reduces harsh highlights in high-contrast scenes. Compatible with all lenses with a 52mm filter thread, it includes a protective storage case. The Urth Ethereal 1 series is the successor to earlier diffusion filters, offering improved optical performance and durability for professional applications. Dimensions: filter diameter 52mm, thickness 4mm, weight 28g. The anti-static coating repels dust particles, and the water-resistant surface allows for easy cleaning with standard lens cleaning materials. For optimal results, it is effective in various lighting conditions, from bright sunlight to controlled studio environments. It provides creative control over image atmosphere and mood without compromising technical image quality.
