The Formatt 4 x 5.65" Supermist Black 1/2 filter is an excellent filter for portraits as it diffuses minute details in a photograph and reduces overall contrast. This filter creates softer diffusion than a standard Supermist, one of the advantages 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
