Magnetic Slim White Powder Mist 1/2

Magnetic Slim White Powder Mist 1/2

The White Powder Mist is a magical portal to the nostalgic realm of vintage lenses. It creates ethereal flares that vary with the light's direction and intensity, softening reality's harsh edges indoors or under the open sky. The ultra-slim, single-frame design does not have a male thread. This feature minimizes the possibility of vignetting.

• The white particles within the glass produce flares and soft gradations, depending on the position and intensity of the light source, similar to shooting with an old lens.
• It creates a cinematic look by enriching shadow gradations while maintaining overall resolution.
• Accentuates bright stars, making it suitable for starry landscape photography, especially when combined with the StarScape filter.
• Mildens the contrast of shadows and softens and diffuses highlights and point light sources. (The 1/2 effect is stronger than 1/4 > 1/8)
• The slim male thread design reduces the possibility of vignetting, especially with wide-angle lenses and when using multiple stacked filters.
• Adopts A6063 aluminum alloy frame that features high strength and excellent corrosion resistance, with a strong permanent magnet.
  
• The water-/oil repellent coating simply sheds water off with the air blower. Nuisances such as sweat, skin crème, lotion, fingerprint, or compounded grease stains will be wiped off.
• 67/77/82mm available. Other sizes are also attachable by sandwiching step rings.
• Attachable to the Marumi Magnetic Slim Lens Cap

Why does the magnetic mount ring make the filters so unique?
What is a distinct advantage of Magnetic Slim except for the magnetic attach-/detachment function?

"Filter work can be much more smooth."
That explains quite simply and briefly why Marumi released the Magnetic Slim Series.
Filter work is, on the one hand, pursuing artistic image quality; on the other hand, striving for precious time to capture the moment.
Detaching a previous filter rotating counterclockwise after removing the lens cap, storing them in your camera bag. Picking up the right filter & right diameter from your camera bag, then attach the filter rotating clockwise…
...OK, ready to set up for shooting, but wait... where is the subject gone? Too bad already long gone the shutter moment.
While Screw-in filters enable your filter to fit into the lens firmly, it would lose your proper moment by concentrating on the attach-/detach movement.
You also may avoid huge stress due to the misalignment of screw-in and over-screwing. (You may understand the stress if you have had such experiences in the past)

The Marumi innovative Magnetic Slim Filter Series allows you to;
- combine a set of Circular Polarizer/ND and Lens Protect much more smooth on attachment/detachment
- stack multiple filters instant on the top of Magnetic Slim Lens Adapter or Lens Protect/Adp. with no vignetting anxiety.
- catch a shutter moment in quick exchange/attach-/detach of filters without giving attention to the threads.]
- choose a proper set according to your requirement; Basic/Advanced/Movie Kit.
- keep all-in-one set in a pouch exclusive for Magnetic Filter Series (optional in purchasing the Kits above)

The four images below demonstrate a comparative analysis of the diffusion effects produced by White Powder Mist of varying strengths. The filters exhibit a progressive increase in light diffusion intensity, correlating with their numerical designations. Specifically, the diffusion effect intensifies in the following order: 1/2 > 1/4 > 1/8.
