The Kenko White Mist filter lowers contrast of highlighted and shadowy areas and produces a soft vintage touch to images. When shooting in backlight conditions this filter diffuses light, creating a vintage lens like flare effect. The No.05 has less softening effect than No.1.
Lowering contrast.
Soft and gentle rendering.
Soft flare effect in backlighting. *The effect is slight when shooting in frontlighting.
Low-profile frame to minimize vignetting when using ultra-wide angle lenses.
White Mist No.05 reduces contrast between highlights and shadows by diffusing light, resulting in soft, pale tones. In scenes with forward light or no strong light sources, the contrast reduction is modest, making it a good match for dark, moist expressions.
Soft and Gentle Rendering
Even when shooting with high-performance lenses, White Mist No.05 allows for soft rendering similar to old classic lenses. Focus edges remain sharp while the overall atmosphere gently softens. In portrait shots, the White Mist No.05 smoothens the model's skin.
Comparison with Kenko White Mist No.1
Since White Mist No.05 is half as strong as No.1, it provides a balanced diffusion in backlit scenes that might otherwise appear excessively washed out with No.1.
