At a glance: A medium-strength Black Mist 1/4 for 55mm lens threads, with SCHOTT B270 glass, for a clear filmic glow and softer contrast.
About this accessory
This 55mm Black Mist 1/4 from Urth's Ethereal range lowers contrast and blooms highlights in a visible way. It has SCHOTT B270 glass, a 20-layer dual-side coating and a slim threaded frame to limit vignetting.
Choose 1/4 when you want the glow to show rather than hint. It is a step stronger than 1/8 and well short of the 1/1, so it suits both stills and video where a defined filmic look is wanted.

Works with
- Lenses with a 55mm filter thread
Best for
A good match for photographers and filmmakers who want a clear filmic bloom around lights and highlights, on portraits and urban scenes. At 55mm this is a mid-small thread, so confirm the ø mark on your lens.
Frequently asked questions
Will the 55mm Black Mist 1/4 Filter fit my lens?
It fits lenses with a 55mm front filter thread. Check the ø figure marked on the front of your lens or on its cap. A lens marked ø55 takes this filter directly, and the lens manual lists the thread size too.
How strong is a 1/4 Black Mist filter?
It is a medium strength, with noticeable halation around highlights and lower contrast. In Urth's Ethereal range it sits between the light 1/8 and the strongest 1/1.
Does a Black Mist filter suit video as well as photos?
Yes. The lowered contrast and highlight bloom give a filmic look, and many videographers use Black Mist filters for that reason. It works equally well on stills.
Can one 55mm filter be shared between lenses?
If your other lenses have smaller threads, an inexpensive step-up ring up to 55mm lets you reuse this filter. Check wide-angle shots for dark corners when using a ring.
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..
