ALTHOUGH IT IS SOMEWHAT EXPENSIVE, IT CREATES A WONDERFUL ATMOSPHERE
The truth is that I use mist filters a lot, especially on video. I like them because they help a lot to create atmosphere and give it that more cinematic touch that, let's be honest, photo optics alone don't usually have. The movie image is not as clinical or as “sharp”; although there is sharpness, it is a smoother, more pleasant sharpness. And that's where a mist filter fits very well to break up that typical hardness of photographic lenses a little.
Once tried, I have to say that I was quite surprised for the better. Of course, there is something very important to keep in mind: you have to work on the color temperature manually. If you don't, the camera will tend to compensate for that yellowish tone of the filter and the effect is greatly diluted. Outdoors, for example, you have to set the camera at 5500 K; if you leave it on automatic, the camera neutralizes the gold and it almost looks like you're wearing a normal mist.
When you adjust it well, the camera generates a very beautiful golden tone, nothing exaggerated, with an almost magical point. It is not an ugly or outdated yellow, it is very pleasant and gives a very clear personality to the image. In addition, the effect is not noticeable in all situations: with totally favorable light it is barely noticeable, but with backlights it is where the filter brings out the best in itself. That's when the magic really comes in.
Aside from the golden hue, the halo and the typical mist bloom are very well crafted. Highlights soften, blur gains character, and the overall image looks prettier, more organic. It's not a gross effect, it's quite fine, especially considering that it's a clearly effectual filter.
In terms of quality, the filter is very well built. The glass looks good, the ring is solid and it comes with a round hard cover that protects the filter quite well, something that is always appreciated when you carry several things in your backpack.
or photos it looks great, but where it really shines is on video, there it's spectacular. It gives a lot of creative play and can completely transform a scene without having to play too much in post-production.
Of course, it's not a filter to buy in several sizes, because it's a lot of money. Your thing is to buy it in the largest size you have and use adapter rings for the rest of the lenses. It's the most logical option.
What I said: a very interesting filter, with a beautiful effect, especially for video, well built and with its own personality, but clearly expensive for what it is. If the price doesn't hurt, it's a very good creative tool; if not, you have to think about it a lot.
