Questions about this gear
What does the 1/4 strength do compared to 1/8?
The 1/4 strength provides a more noticeable glow around highlights and a greater reduction in contrast than the 1/8, making it the most popular choice for a visible 'filmic' look.
Does the Tiffen Pro-Mist 1/4 affect autofocus?
No, the filter is made of high-quality optical glass and does not interfere with the phase-detection or contrast-detection autofocus systems of modern cameras.
Can I stack this with a Variable ND filter?
Yes, you can stack it, but it is recommended to place the Pro-Mist filter closest to the lens to minimize potential ghosting or flares.
About the Tiffen Promist 1/4
- Reduces Highlights and Lowers Contrast
- Softens Wrinkles and Blemishes
- Creates a Soft Quality of Light
- ColorCore Technology
The Tiffen 77mm Black Pro-Mist 1/4 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. The 1/4 density provides more contrast and highlight reduction than the 1/8, but less than the 1/2, while still allowing for a soft, pastel-like quality of light.
Tiffen filters are made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and then mounting to precision metal rings.
