Half Black Hole – 77mm

The Half Black Hole

The Half Black Hole Filter by SZ Filters creates a dynamic swirl of motion and distortion on only one side of your frame. It combines the energy of the original Black Hole effect with more control and asymmetry — perfect for creating tension, direction, and visual contrast in your shots.

Unlike full vortex filters, this one lets you keep part of your image clean while the other bends light into a circular curve. It’s ideal for portraits, creative fashion, and music visuals where you want to highlight your subject while still adding movement and style.

Rotate the filter to shift the swirl’s position and change the mood of your frame. And because all the effects happen in-camera, there’s no need for editing.

Key Features:

• Produces a half-vortex distortion effect

• Allows you to blend motion and stability in one frame

• Rotatable to shift the swirl direction

• Ideal for fashion, portraits, and creative video

• Effects are made entirely in-camera, no post-processing

• Hand-assembled by SZ Filters for bold visuals

Control the swirl. Keep the balance. Shoot with the Half Black Hole.

You can combine it with all our available flat Filters such as the Mystic Dream or the Rainbow Starlight. Try it with our Filter Magnet Pro system for even easier use!

*All our filters are in 77mm size, and the reason is that after researching and using filters in various lens sizes, we found it to be the ideal size for use with any existing diameter using our Adapter Rings  and Filter Magnet Pro. We’re not interested in selling you a different filter for every lens you have; our focus is on enabling you to create incredible images with simplicity, speed, and creativity.
