Tiffen 6.6x6.6" Pro-Mist 1/2 Filter

Become a master of mood creation with the 6.6 x 6.6 Pro-Mist 1/2 Filter, a versatile tool for both outdoor and indoor photography. Whether you're capturing expansive landscapes or intimate portraits, this filter is adept at subtly softening excessive sharpness and reducing contrast. It achieves this by gently lightening shadow areas, ensuring the overall image retains its integrity.

In the era of high-contrast, ultra-sharp films and lenses, the Pro-Mist filter stands out by offering a solution to overly crisp images. It introduces a moderate highlight flare that mimics a halo, staying close to the light source and casting an almost pearlescent glow around the highlights.

The Pro-Mist filter is not just about softening and reducing contrast; it's also a tool for color manipulation. It's often employed to mute vibrant colors, transforming them into exquisite pastel tones.

For those seeking a warmer tone, the Warm Pro-Mist filters are an excellent choice. These filters blend the acclaimed Pro-Mist effect with the exclusive Tiffen 812½ filter, adding a natural warmth to skin tones, exterior shade, and highlight areas. This is particularly beneficial in outdoor open shade situations where excessive blue in the image can be problematic, and total lighting control may not be achievable. The Warm Pro-Mist filters effectively eliminate the blue cast, resulting in a more pleasing effect.

The 6.6 x 6.6 Pro-Mist 1/2 Filter is available in professional sizes in densities ranging from 1/8 to 5. The higher the density, the greater the diffusion effect. Regardless of the density, the warm color remains constant, while the degree of softening varies. This filter is a must-have tool for photographers aiming to achieve a softer, warmer, and more atmospheric effect in their images.
