The Sq100 Black Mist creates a gentle soft effect through diffusing light around light sources while it also lowers the general contrast. This reduces the overall sharpness and the image gets a classic and timeless look with a touch of vintage, similar to the style that is common in cinema. Choose between 1/4 and 1/8 for the optimal density
The Sq100 Black Mist is available as 1/4 and 1/8, with the 1/4 having the overall stronger softening effect. Tendentially, in situations with strong light sources close to the camera or strong backlighting, the 1/8 is preferrable in order to avoid an overly strong effect. In low light situations, nightscape with light sources far away or settings with weak backlighting, the 1/8 might turn out too subtle, making the 1/4 the preferred choice for a clearer visible effect.
However, in the end it comes down to the artist's preferences and intentions as both densities can work fantastically in all kinds of settings!
