The Tiffen 95mm Black Pro-Mist 1/2 Coarse Thread filter helps to reduce highlight values whilst slightly decreasing overall contrast. This filter is particularly useful for smoothing and softening facial wrinkles and other imperfections. Although designed for cinematographic use, this filter can also be used for fashion and beauty applications. Unlike a traditional diffusion or blur filter, Pro-Mist filters offer minimal loss of detail across the entire image. The 1/2 density offers more contrast and highlight reduction than 1/4, but less than 1, whilst allowing for a soft, pastel light quality.nnTiffen filters are manufactured using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass, grinding it flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, then mounting it on precision metal rings.nnn- Pro-Mist filters offer minimal loss of detail across the entire image compared to traditional diffusion and blur filters.n- Particularly useful for smoothing and softening facial wrinkles and other imperfections.nnnFeaturesnn
