Purpose and audience
The HOYA Filter 58mm Fog B Effect Glass Filter is a creative effect filter that veils the entire frame in a soft, ethereal white. It is intended for photographers who want to add a fog-like atmosphere and a sense of drama or mystery to their images. The filter provides a stronger fog effect than the companion Fog A model and can be combined with it for an even denser look. It suits any shooter using 58mm threaded lenses who prefers in-camera artistic control over post-processing.
Compatibility check
Verify that your lens has a 58mm front filter thread before ordering; the filter will not mount on other thread sizes without a step ring. Because the effect weakens when the aperture is stopped down too far, ensure you are comfortable working at wider apertures to maintain the desired fog intensity. The filter is a screw-in glass element, so confirm there is enough clearance on your lens barrel for standard filter thickness.
Behaviour under sustained use
The fog effect remains consistent across extended shooting sessions because it is an optical property of the glass rather than a digital process. Image quality does not degrade over time, and there are no electronic components to overheat or batteries to drain. The only practical limit is the aperture setting: keeping the iris relatively wide preserves the soft veil, while stopping down for deep depth of field will progressively reduce the visible effect.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box with the 58mm Fog B Effect Glass Filter?
The package contains the 58mm Fog B Effect Glass Filter itself. No additional accessories or adapters are included, so any lens caps, cleaning cloths or filter pouches must be purchased separately.
How do I choose between the Fog B and the Fog A filter in the series?
The Fog B filter delivers a stronger fog effect than the Fog A filter. Choose Fog B when you want a denser, more pronounced veil; select Fog A for a lighter, subtler mist. Both can be stacked for an even heavier atmosphere.
What does the 58mm thread size mean when I mount this filter on my lens?
The 58mm designation matches the filter thread on the front of compatible lenses. It screws directly onto any lens with a 58mm thread, and the fog effect can then be tuned by adjusting the lens aperture — stopping down too far will reduce the effect.
