Hitech 105mm Supermist Clear 1/2 Pro Filter by Formatt | BF 105-H-CLRSU
You grip the 105mm ring and feel the reassuring heft of solid brass. This isn’t a standard UV filter. The Supermist Clear 1/2 from Formatt is built for a specific look: a subtle, controlled softness that spreads highlights without destroying detail.
- Masters backlit scenes. The proprietary Supermist coating tames harsh window light and strong sun, wrapping subjects in a gentle, halo-like glow. Skin tones stay natural, not washed out.
- True 1/2 strength. At half the density of a full mist filter, it gives you that dreamy cinematic character without turning sharp lenses into soft-focus blurs. Your contrast stays punchy.
- Formatt’s Pro build. A solid metal ring eliminates light leaks and prevents binding on your lens threads. This is a working tool designed for repetitive mounting and dismounting in the field.
- Wide-angle friendly. The slim profile avoids vignetting on ultrawide lenses, even at 14mm or 16mm. You shoot without cropping your image in post.
- Clear optical base. The substrate is water-white optical glass, not standard soda-lime. This means zero color cast ? your whites stay white, your blacks stay black.
The Hitech 105mm Supermist Clear 1/2 is arguably the most versatile filter in a pro landscape or portrait kit. It handles flare beautifully, demands no exposure compensation, and stays on the lens for mixed-lighting shoots where you can’t afford to stop and swap glass. One twist and you’re set.
