"For a vintage touch"

The Kenko White Mist No.1 is a soft diffuser that reduces contrast between highlights and shadows, resulting in a softer rendering with paler color tones across the entire image. When backlit it creates a diffusion effect, like the flare of a vintage lens, as if enveloped in light.

【Main Features】
■Lowering Contrast
White Mist No. 1 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. 1 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.1 smoothens the model's skin.

■Soft Flare Effect
Flares are traditionally unwelcomed in photography, but recent trends see photographers using flares as an artistic element in their compositions. White mist No.1 can create natural and soft flare when backlit shooting.

■Comparison with Kenko Black Mist Series
White Mist is a soft filter that incorporates white diffusing powder, different to the Kenko Black Mist's black diffusing powder, melted inside the glass. It is more effective in reducing contrast than Black Mist, and can reduce saturation to create a brighter tone.
