At a glance: A medium-strength Black Mist 1/4 for 55mm lens threads, with SCHOTT B270 glass, for a clear filmic glow and softer contrast.
About this accessory
This 55mm Black Mist 1/4 from Urth’s Ethereal range lowers contrast and blooms highlights in a visible way. It has SCHOTT B270 glass, a 20-layer dual-side coating and a slim threaded frame to limit vignetting.
Choose 1/4 when you want the glow to show rather than hint. It is a step stronger than 1/8 and well short of the 1/1, so it suits both stills and video where a defined filmic look is wanted.

Best for
A good match for photographers and filmmakers who want a clear filmic bloom around lights and highlights, on portraits and urban scenes. At 55mm this is a mid-small thread, so confirm the ø mark on your lens.
Frequently asked questions
Will the 55mm Black Mist 1/4 Filter fit my lens?
It fits lenses with a 55mm front filter thread. Check the ø figure marked on the front of your lens or on its cap. A lens marked ø55 takes this filter directly, and the lens manual lists the thread size too.
How strong is a 1/4 Black Mist filter?
It is a medium strength, with noticeable halation around highlights and lower contrast. In Urth’s Ethereal range it sits between the light 1/8 and the strongest 1/1.
Does a Black Mist filter suit video as well as photos?
Yes. The lowered contrast and highlight bloom give a filmic look, and many videographers use Black Mist filters for that reason. It works equally well on stills.
Can one 55mm filter be shared between lenses?
If your other lenses have smaller threads, an inexpensive step-up ring up to 55mm lets you reuse this filter. Check wide-angle shots for dark corners when using a ring.
