NiSi Black Magic Diffusion 1/4 フィルター

The glass feels solid in hand, and the way it softens highlights without smearing detail is exactly what I wanted for portraits. It’s a subtle shift that makes skin tones look naturally filmic, and I’ve left it on for most of my shoots since it arrived.

I’ve been using this on my vintage lenses and it softens the highlights just enough to give that old film look without killing sharpness. The optical glass feels solid and the 1/4 strength is perfect for everyday use—not too heavy.

Took this out for a shoot last weekend, and the way it handles highlights is genuinely impressive—the softening effect is subtle but gives everything a more polished, film-like look. The optical glass feels solid and didn’t introduce any unwanted flare.
