The Formatt 4 x 4" Supermist Black 1/2 Filter is an excellent filter for portraits as it diffuses minute detail in a photograph and reduces overall contrast. This filter creates a softer diffusion than a standard Supermist, one of the benefits being that it doesn't open up shadow areas as much.

Anyone photographing portraits should have a diffusion filter in their bag, and the Supermist Black gives you the freedom to create the most flattering images.

Formatt, a company with three generations of experience in manufacturing professional filters, produces each filter to the highest technical standards. The finest materials, combined with cutting-edge production technology, have achieved a level of optical excellence unmatched elsewhere.

Note! Supermist Black filters are available in intensities ranging from 1/8 to 5, with 5 having the most pronounced effect

Super Mist Range

- Super Mist Black - softens fine detail and reduces contrast but is more subtle than a standard Supermist with less lightening of shadow areas
- Super Mist Clear - the ultimate softening tool for creating atmosphere in exterior or interior, wide scenes or portraits; the Supermist is excellent for taming excessive sharpness and reducing contrast by moderately lightening shadow areas without damaging the overall image
- Warm Super Mist Black - Combines the effects of a Super Mist Black with a warmer tone
- Warm Super Mist Clear - The Warm Super Mist combines the classic Super Mist with a unique skin tone enhancer, adding natural warmth; this is useful in outdoor open shade situations where there is excess blue in the image and full lighting control may not be possible
