Kenko Black Mist Protector 49mm

(New) Kenko Black Mist Protector 49mm

Purchased for SONY Sonnar T* FE 55mm F1.8 ZA, but selling as I've sold the lens.

Purchased at Yodobashi Camera in February for ¥3,780. As a bonus, I'm including a new 49mm to 67mm step-up ring.

[Product Overview]
Like a scene from a movie. A leave-on filter with a subtle Black Mist effect.

This lens filter offers a soft effect equivalent to 1/4 of Black Mist No.1, creating a cinematic and impressive atmosphere for nightscapes and backlit shots. With its subtle, gentle soft effect, it can be used as a protective filter, left on the lens at all times. It features a multi-coating to prevent flare and ghosting, and a water-repellent/oil-repellent coating to repel water droplets and dirt, enhancing its function as a lens protection filter.

The Black Mist Protector has a soft effect equivalent to 1/4 of Black Mist No.1 and 1/2 of Black Mist No.05. By softening the effect, it can be used continuously, and it can be subtly applied in backlit scenes or scenes with strong light sources. It is also recommended for video shooting.

■ Cinematic Nightscapes with Unique Light Diffusion
For night photography, the characteristic light diffusion effect of Black Mist subtly softens point light sources, creating a cinematic atmosphere. Even with strong light sources in the frame, the effect is more subdued than Black Mist No.1 or No.05.

■ More Dramatic Backlit Shots
While subtly reducing the contrast between highlights and shadows, it gently diffuses light, creating even more dramatic backlit scenes.

■ As a Lens Protection Filter
To enhance its function as a lens protection filter, it features a water-repellent/oil-repellent coating to repel water droplets and dirt, and a multi-coating to suppress flare and ghosting caused by filter attachment. It also has a slim, thin frame design.
The BLACK MIST PROTECTOR logo, based on the TRAJAN font most used in movie titles from around 1990 to the present, is elegant and further enhances your attachment to your camera equipment.
