DZOFilm Catta Coin Plug-in Filter Black Mist Set
FULL DESCRIPTION
The DZOFilm Catta Coin Plug-in Filter Black Mist Set is an advanced creative solution designed for users of Catta Zoom lenses (E, RF, L, X, Z mounts). With its rear “coin-plug” insert design, this filter set allows users to add an internal filter without altering the front lens, maintaining a compact profile ideal for on-set or run-and-gun shooting.
This kit includes two versions of the “Black Mist” filter (1/4 and 1/8 strengths), perfect for achieving a cinematic effect — softening skin imperfections, rendering natural skin tones, reducing contrast, creating pastel highlights, and enhancing cinematic flair while maintaining detail in shadows.
It is ideal for videographers, cinematographers, television, and documentary production professionals who frequently use Catta Zoom lenses and want a distinctive, professional look without bulky front filters. The rear-mounted filter preserves the lens’s original optical quality — no ghosting or flare — thanks to its high-quality glass and double-sided nano-coating.
In shooting environments where skin tone, lighting, and texture are critical (commercials, music videos, films, advertising), this set lets users quickly shift from a sharp, precise style to a softer, cinematic, and creative look. Installation takes only seconds and requires no disassembly of the front lens element.
