About this accessory
The Urth 49mm Ethereal Black Mist 1/8 Filter Plus+ is a diffusion filter that blooms highlights gently. It uses German SCHOTT B270 glass with a CoraNano 20-layer coating on both sides in an ultra-slim, warp-resistant aluminium frame for 49mm lens threads.
Pick 1/8 if you want a hint of softness that is easy to live with, such as on skin or bright windows. If you want a more obvious look, the Ethereal 1/4 is the next step up.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if a 49mm filter fits my lens?
Any lens with a 49mm front thread will take it. Look for the diameter symbol (ø) followed by a number on the front of the lens barrel or inside the lens cap. If it reads 49, this filter screws straight on.
What is a Black Mist 1/8 filter for?
A Black Mist filter is a diffusion filter that blooms highlights and lowers contrast slightly. Urth lists this one in its Ethereal range at 1/8, the lightest strength, for a subtle filmic look.
Should I choose 1/8 or 1/4 Black Mist?
The numbers show strength: 1/8 is light, 1/4 is medium with noticeable halation around highlights, and 1/1 is the strongest in Urth's Ethereal range. Stronger filters give more glow and lower contrast.
Is Ethereal the same as Black Mist?
Yes, they are the same filter. Urth's full product name is Ethereal Black Mist, and we use Black Mist in the title because that is the name photographers and filmmakers search for.
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
