This 77mm Mist Diffuser Black No. 1 Filter from Hoya diffuses light sources to create a soft glowing effect around highlights. It reduces overall contrast, but especially in the shadows, and helps to create a cinematic look and film feel in still images and video. The effect is an increase in halation or "blooming" of highlights and specular light sources, plus a reduction in contrast, wrinkles, and skin blemishes for a softer, more romantic look. The effect of the Mist Diffuser Black No. 1 is similar to filters rated 1/4 when compared to cinematic mist filters.

The cinematic mist effect is created by equally distributing a fine black nano powder between two layers of optical glass then bonding them together. This filter is made of optical glass to retain image detail, but the glass is not multicoated to provide enhanced flares. The slim aluminum frame can be used on wide angle lenses without vignetting.

A: Yes, it does.

Q: 2. can this fit on a canon eos m with a 18-55 mm lense?

Q: 3. This filter fit in canon sx 50

A: This item requires Canon Filter Adapter FA-DC67A, which is compatible with the SX40, SX50 and SX530. If not available from B&H, try Canon U.S.A. Shop (shop.usa.canon dot com). 67mm filters will then thread on the adapter.

Q: 5. Is this bundle made in CHAINA?

Q: 6. Did anyone noticed any vignetting?

A: I certainly depends on the focal length of the lens, super wide angle lenses will most likely vignette with 2 or 3 filters attached.

Q: 7. Will these fit my Nikon D3300 with AF-S 18-55 1:3.5-5.6 GII lens as well as 55-200 1:4-5.6 GII ED lens?

A: Ooops. I should have looked before my first answer. It looks like both of your kit lenses have a 52mm diameter, so these filters will work for both without any adapters needed. My first answer still applies, for anyone who has lenses with various thread diameters.

Q: 8. Would this fit a Fuji 23mm f2 lens?

A: Yes it will!

Q: 9. I bouth this item and the 10-18mm Canon lens and I was using the UV with the polarizer attached to it and when looking through the view I see black borders around the image, is this ok? I removed both filters and took the picture again and the black border was not there.

A: That is called vignette. It means that the filters are too thick to be used with that lens and you will get vignette in your images. Chances are if you set the lens to 18mm you might not have vignette. In general it is not a good idea to stack filters so when you use a polarizer you should take off the UV filter. It will reduce the amount of vignette. But with that wide a lens you still might get vignette.

Q: 10. Does this come with the plastic insert for the tilta mirage that's shown in the second image or is that a seperate purchase?

A: I have e-mailed the manufacturer concerning your above inquire about the plastic insert being included with the purchase of the Vaxis VFX 95 Pure Mist 1/4 Filter. Unfortunately, as of the date/time of this reply, I have not yet received a reply from the manufacturer. I will update the reply once I receive a reply from the manufacturer. In the meantime, if you purchase the above filter and it does not work for your usage needs, do note you have 30 days from the original purchase date to return the filter for an exchange or a refund. The Tilta Dual Circular Filter Tray for Mirage Matte Box, B&H # TIMBT16DCF, appears to be the filter tray if you desire to purchase one as a separate purchase.
