KANI Partial Black Premium Mist (PBPM) No.4 100×150mm with Filter Frame
The KANI Partial Black Premium Mist (PBPM) No.4 is a 100×150mm rectangular diffusion filter featuring a Black Mist effect on one half of the filter, while the remaining half stays clear.
Unlike a conventional soft-focus filter that simply reduces sharpness, the Black Mist section preserves the core detail of the subject while gently softening overall contrast and rendering. This creates a natural, refined softness that works beautifully not only for portrait photography but also for landscapes, cinematic scenes, and creative video production.
The PBPM series is available in five effect strengths from No.1 to No.5, with the mist effect becoming progressively stronger as the number increases. No.4 provides a strong yet controlled diffusion effect for photographers and filmmakers who want noticeable softness while retaining subject definition.
Key Features
- Half Black Mist / Half Clear Design – One half of the filter applies the Black Mist effect while the other half remains clear, allowing selective control over softness within the frame.
- Softness with Retained Detail – Unlike traditional soft filters, Black Mist maintains a defined image core while gently softening contrast and fine detail.
- Controlled Highlight Diffusion – Helps soften bright highlights and light sources without creating an excessively washed-out appearance.
- Adjustable Effect Position – By sliding the 100×150mm filter vertically in a compatible holder, you can position the Black Mist effect exactly where you want it.
- Versatile for Photo & Video – Suitable for portraits, landscapes, weddings, night photography, backlit scenes, and cinematic filmmaking.
- German SCHOTT B270 Optical Glass – Manufactured using high-quality SCHOTT B270 glass for reliable optical performance.
- Premium Low-Reflection Nano Coating – KANI's Premium coating helps suppress flare and ghosting, even when shooting in challenging backlit conditions.
Black Mist No.4 Effect
KANI Partial Black Premium Mist filters are available in five strengths: No.1, No.2, No.3, No.4, and No.5. The higher the number, the stronger the diffusion effect.
No.4 offers a strong Black Mist effect that noticeably softens overall rendering while retaining a defined image core. It is ideal when you want a clearly visible cinematic diffusion effect without completely sacrificing subject detail.
Why Choose KANI Partial Black Premium Mist?
The unique partial design gives you more creative control than a conventional full-surface diffusion filter. Instead of applying the same softness across the entire frame, the PBPM lets you selectively introduce the Black Mist effect while keeping another area clear.
This flexibility is particularly useful in landscape photography, where you may want to soften highlights or distant areas while maintaining clarity in the foreground. For portraits and video, it can create a more cinematic and flattering atmosphere while preserving important facial and subject detail.
High-quality German SCHOTT B270 optical glass and KANI's Premium low-reflection nano coating help maintain excellent optical performance while reducing unwanted flare and ghosting in strong or backlit lighting conditions.
