Concept
Kenko Gold Mist No.1 introduces a new dimension of warmth to mist filter photography. Joining the popular Black Mist and White Mist series, it uses gold diffusion particles to gently soften light and add subtle amber tones to the image.
Combining smooth, delicate rendering with expressive golden highlight bloom, Gold Mist No.1 creates a nostalgic, cinematic atmosphere reminiscent of a flashback scene in a film. Everyday moments take on a warm, dreamlike quality, bringing out the beauty of light and the emotions of a distant memory.
Highlighted Features
A Hint of Gold That Adds Warmth to Light
Gold diffusion particles gently scatter light and soften contrast while introducing a subtle gold (amber) tint. The entire image takes on a warm, delicate glow, creating a nostalgic atmosphere without overwhelming the original scene.
Soft, Smooth Rendering
Gold Mist No.1 softens the sharp appearance of digital images, creating a gentle, veil-like texture. Landscapes and everyday scenes take on the character of distant memories.
In portrait photography, the soft diffusion smooths the appearance of skin texture, while warm golden tones give the subject a healthy, natural-looking glow.
Dramatic Highlight Bloom with a Golden Glow
Gold Mist No.1 produces stronger diffusion around point light sources than Black Mist, spreading highlights into a radiant golden glow.
Sunlight reflected from water, glass and metal gains a delicate sparkle, while backlit scenes reveal soft blooms of light around the edges of silhouettes. These effects add visual expression and emphasize the beauty of light within the composition.

Cinematic Atmosphere with Warm Flare
Gold Mist No.1 is particularly expressive during golden hour. Morning and evening sunlight produces soft golden flare that spreads across the image, surrounding the scene with warm, dreamlike light.
The resulting atmosphere evokes the feeling of a distant memory, giving photographs a cinematic quality.

Practical Filter Frame Design
Gold Mist No.1 features a slim frame designed to help prevent vignetting when using ultra-wide-angle lenses. A knurled rim allows easy attachment and removal, while blackened glass edges and compatibility with lens caps complete its practical design.
