It's funny, but in the past few years, I've seen a lot of videos that got me really excited about black pro-mist filters, but I've also seen a lot of videos that got me equally un-excited. While some added a really nice cinematic quality to the footage, others just kind of made the footage look dark, soft and blurry. I'm happy to say that this filter is exactly what I was looking for. It creates such a nice subtle difference in the footage. It's not too dark and it's not too soft - It's just a nice little something extra that separates the footage without the filter from the footage with the filter. Check out the sample footage I posted. If you look closely, you'll notice a nice soft halation in the lighting - nothing crazy, nothing over the top, but that's exactly what I was hoping for. It's something the average person watching the video probably won't notice, but you, the person filming the video, will definitely notice the difference. And in terms of the filter itself, it's really well-made. I like the textured grip around the edges of the filter making it easy to grab when putting it on the lens. I also like the addition of the screw-on metal lens cap that comes with it. Overall, this filter is solid and it gives the look I was hoping for. Definitely worth checking out.
