The Tiffen Series 9 Black Pro-Mist Filter helps to reduce the value of the highlights while slightly lowering the overall contrast. This filter is especially useful for smoothing out and softening facial wrinkles and other blemishes. While designed for use with movies, this filter can also be used for fashion and beauty applications. Unlike a traditional diffusion or soft focus filter, Pro-Mist filters provide little loss of detail across the image.
Tiffen Black Pro-Mist filters combine contrast-reducing, soft-focus diffusion and add a nostalgic, dreamy feel without washing out shadows. Conversely, standard Pro-Mist (non-black) provides similar warmth and halation but reduces contrast more significantly, resulting in a more washed-out, "misty" look.
The 1/8 density provides the least amount of contrast and highlight reduction and allows for a soft, pastel-like quality of light.
The 1/4 density provides a very small amount of contrast and highlight reduction and allows for a soft, pastel-like quality of light.
The 1 density provides a subtle amount of contrast and highlight reduction and allows for a soft, pastel-like quality of light.
The 3 density provides a noticeable amount of contrast and highlight reduction and allows for a soft, pastel-like quality of light.
The 4 density provides a very noticeable amount of contrast and highlight reduction and allows for a soft, pastel-like quality of light.
The 5 density provides the greatest amount of contrast and highlight reduction and allows for a soft, pastel-like quality of light.
Tiffen filters are made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and then mounting to precision metal rings. This filter is compatible with Series 9 filter holders.
Pro-Mist filters provide little loss of detail across the image compared to traditional diffusion and soft focus filters.
