Lens filter B&W White Mist 1/8 MRC nano V-Pro 77mm (model 1108681)

The B&W White Mist 1/8 MRC nano V-Pro 77mm is a screw-in lens filter that creates a subtle softening "white mist" effect while maintaining overall image contrast. Designed for use on lenses with a 77mm filter thread, this optical accessory introduces gentle halation around bright areas to soften highlights and reduce the perceived sharpness of skin texture without significantly lowering image contrast. The MRC nano V-Pro multi-resistant coating reduces reflections and makes the filter surface easier to clean, helping to maintain reliable optical performance in everyday use.

Advantages

This filter delivers controlled diffusion that preserves midtone contrast and natural color rendition while producing delicate highlight bloom. The screw-in 77mm format offers secure attachment to compatible lenses and a compact profile that keeps the front element close to the lens. The MRC nano V-Pro coating reduces stray reflections and minimizes flare and ghosting, and its hydrophobic and oleophobic surface treatment facilitates cleaning and resists fingerprints.

Suitable for

• Portrait photography where softened skin texture and gentle highlight bloom are desired
• Wedding and event photography to produce flattering, atmospheric highlights
• Landscape and nature images that benefit from restrained dream-like halation in highlights
• Close-up and product shots when a mild diffusion effect is required

Key specifications

• Filter type: White Mist diffusion (strength 1/8)
• Mount: screw-in filter, 77mm thread diameter
• Coating: MRC nano V-Pro multi-resistant coating for reduced reflections and easier cleaning
• Effect: subtle softening and highlight halation with preserved overall contrast
• Physical profile: slim screw-in design to limit vignetting on wide-angle lenses

How to use

Screw the filter onto the front of any lens with a 77mm thread until it is hand-tight. Compose and focus as usual; the White Mist effect will be applied optically and is visible in the viewfinder on most optical systems and through electronic viewfinders. For portraits, position the subject so that key highlights fall within the frame to produce gentle halation; for landscapes, the effect is most noticeable on specular highlights such as backlit foliage, water reflections or sunlit clouds. Remove the filter when a neutral, high-contrast rendering is required.

Usage recommendations

Use the White Mist 1/8 for a subtle diffusion aesthetic rather than dramatic soft focus. Test the filter at different apertures and lighting conditions to determine the preferred balance between softening and detail retention. Clean the coated surface with a lint-free cloth and appropriate optical cleaner to preserve the MRC nano V-Pro finish.
