Irix Edge Black Mist 1/4 Filter SR (82mm)

The Irix Edge Black Mist 1/4 Filter SR (82mm) is the middle intensity in Irix's three-level Black Mist lineup, built for filmmakers and photographers who want a moderate atmospheric haze without the stronger diffusion of the 1/2 grade. It diffuses light and reduces contrast while preserving darker tones, creating a subtle halo around light sources that's popular for romantic, cinematic, or nostalgic-feeling shots. Reinforced tempered SR glass and an 18-layer nano coating on each side keep it durable and resistant to water, oil, and scratches in the field.

• Middle Black Mist intensity: The 1/4 grade sits between Irix's 1/2 and 1/8 Black Mist filters, for a moderate diffusion effect.
• Highlight and contrast control: Lowers contrast and overall highlight intensity while preserving the integrity of darker image elements.
• Portrait-friendly diffusion: Reduces the visibility of skin blemishes like wrinkles and discoloration in portrait photography.
• Premium optical construction: High-quality optical glass in an aluminum alloy frame, with 18 anti-reflective nano coating layers on each side.
• Weatherproof coating: A waterproof, oilproof, and dustproof top coating resists stains and fingerprints in any shooting condition.
• SR reinforced glass: Irix's SR (glass tempering) technology adds exceptional resistance to scratches and damage.
