Nisi JetMag Highlight Diffusion Filter 1/2 (49MAG)

The NiSi JetMag Highlight Diffusion Filter 1/2 (49MAG) creates film-like highlight diffusion with natural halation. For portrait photography, music videos, night shots, YouTube, and content creators, this diffusion filter is a creative tool for atmospheric 49MAG setups.

Highlight Diffusion 1/2 for Soft Light Sources and a Film Look

The filter is designed to evenly diffuse bright areas of the image, giving them a softer, film-like glow. This makes skin highlights, practical light sources, neon lights, candles, and reflective surfaces appear less harsh without overexposing fine details. The NiSi JetMag Highlight Diffusion Filter 1/2 (49MAG) uses advanced micro-lens technology that distributes the diffusion primarily in the brightest areas of the image. This creates a natural halo effect that makes the look feel more emotional and less digital. This is helpful for portraits, narrative scenes, atmospheric night shots, and music videos when light sources are intended to be a visible part of the composition. The 1/2 strength provides a clearly noticeable yet controlled soft focus for both still photography and video.

Contrast-Preserving Diffusion for Portraits and Video

Unlike many classic mist filters, the HDF filter is designed to preserve tonal balance and image clarity. Shadows remain rich, midtones appear vibrant, and highlights are softened without making the entire shot appear flat. This is particularly important for modern digital cameras with high resolution and a wide dynamic range, because excessive diffusion can quickly compromise detail and contrast. For content creators, YouTube formats, and hybrid photo-video workflows, this creates a look that is applied directly in-camera yet remains highly adaptable for further editing. For faces, the filter softens bright skin highlights; for nighttime scenes, it creates a softer lighting atmosphere; and for music videos, it enhances a warm, cinematic character without unnecessarily obscuring the image’s impact.

JetMag Pro 49MAG System for Quick Filter Changes

The magnetic JetMag Pro 49MAG system allows for quick attachment and removal of the filter when used with a compatible adapter ring. This enables you to change the look on set quickly without having to screw the filter in the traditional way. This saves time in changing lighting conditions, on location shoots, or with setups using multiple lenses. The patented locking mechanism holds the filter securely in place, even during handheld shots, long exposures, gimbal movements, or when stacked with other JetMag Pro filters. The NiSi JetMag Highlight Diffusion Filter 1/2 (49MAG) can be combined with FS ND filters for longer exposures or with True Color CPL filters for greater control over the sky and reflections. This provides photographers, videographers, and mobile teams with a flexible workflow that combines creative diffusion with quick magnetic filter changes.

Slim aluminum frame and durable nano-coating

The ultra-slim aluminum frame reduces the risk of mechanical vignetting, even when the filter is used with wide-angle lenses or compact setups. At the same time, the construction remains sturdy enough for regular use in the field, while traveling, during night shoots, or in everyday production. The multi-layer nano-coating repels water, dust, oil, and fingerprints, making it easier to clean the glass surfaces. Additionally, the anti-reflective coating helps reduce internal reflections and ghosting when bright light sources are close to the edge of the frame. Brown filter handles make it easy to quickly identify the filter in a caddy or multi-filter pouch. The filter is compatible with JetMag Pro 49MAG adapter rings in 39 mm, 40.5 mm, 43 mm, 46 mm, and 49 mm. For content creators and filmmakers, it offers a compact solution for cinematic highlights within the magnetic 49MAG system.
