Tiffen 4 x 4" Soft/FX Black Pro-Mist 1/2 Filter

A fusion of advanced technology and superior craftsmanship, the Tiffen 4 x 4" Soft/FX Black Pro-Mist 1/2 Filter is a unique blend of the Soft/FX and Black Pro-Mist filters. This innovative filter is designed to diffuse intense light entering the lens, resulting in a captivating glowing effect. Despite the soft and dreamy outcome, the filter ensures minimal loss of clarity or detail, making it an ideal choice for professionals seeking a balance between softness and sharpness.

The Soft/FX feature of this filter operates by creating small aberrations in the light entering the lens. This technique spreads the light more evenly, crafting a soft glow instead of a sharp, well-defined image typically produced when shooting without a filter. The Black Pro-Mist component of the filter aids in reducing the intensity of the highlights while subtly lowering the overall contrast. This feature is particularly beneficial for smoothing out facial wrinkles and other imperfections, making it a valuable tool for fashion and beauty photography.

Unlike traditional diffusion or soft focus filters, the Pro-Mist filters ensure minimal loss of detail across the image. The 1/2 density of this filter offers more contrast and highlight reduction than the 1/4, but less than the 1, while still delivering a soft, pastel-like quality of light.

Crafted with precision, Tiffen filters are manufactured using the innovative ColorCore technology. This process involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass, which is then ground flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. This meticulous process ensures the highest level of quality and performance. The Tiffen 4 x 4" Soft/FX Black Pro-Mist 1/2 Filter measures 4 x 4" / 101.6 x 101.6mm, making it a compact and versatile addition to any professional photography kit.
