The Midas Touch

Turn light into moving golden halos. This handcrafted liquid filter creates warm, dreamy effects directly in-camera, with floating gold flecks that reshape the glow as you move your camera or light.

Each filter is individually assembled, finished and tested for leaks to meet our quality standards.

How to get the effect

Direct natural or artificial light toward the filter and place a darker background behind the halo to make it stand out. Experiment with lighting angles and camera positions to shape the glow.

Explore the liquid-filter guide for setup tips and examples.

Lens compatibility

Our range primarily uses 77mm filters, with select models also available in 95mm. Use compatible Adapter Rings and Filter Magnet Pro to share one filter across multiple lenses.

With lenses below 50mm or wide-angle lenses, the filter’s design may create circular marks near the image edges. Always check a test frame: a matching thread size does not guarantee clear edges.

Handmade details & care

Minor sealing imperfections at the edges and air bubbles smaller than a penny are normal and do not affect the final image. Some gold particles may remain along the edges, helping reflect light as the filter rotates.

Avoid extreme temperatures, especially below 5°C / 41°F.

Technical and Manufacturing Details

Our liquid filters are handmade. The parts are assembled in two stages, with each stage lasting 9 hours. Afterwards, the filters are sanded, polished and then subjected to an immersion process to confirm that there are no leaks. Only then does final assembly take place with the metal rings.

Important: It is normal to see imperfections on the edges due to the sealing process. These do not affect the final image at all, nor do air bubbles smaller than a penny. Some diamonds or gold dust may be stuck to the edges to help reflect light when the filter is rotated, but the total amount around the edges is less than 20%.

To ensure the maximum durability and optimal performance of your liquid filters, avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures, especially very low ones (below 5°C/41°F).
