Tiffen 4 x 5.65" Soft/FX Black Pro-Mist 1/2 Filter

If you're seeking to elevate your photography with a dreamy, ethereal effect while maintaining image clarity, the Tiffen 4 x 5.65" Soft/FX Black Pro-Mist 1/2 Filter is your ideal solution. This professional-grade filter is a fusion of Tiffen's renowned Soft/FX and Black Pro-Mist filters, designed to diffuse strong light entering the lens, resulting in a soft, radiant glow.

The 1/2 density of the Soft/FX component subtly softens the image, creating a gentle diffusion that maintains the integrity of the original detail. This is achieved by introducing small aberrations that spread the light more evenly across the lens, creating a soft glow rather than a sharp, well-defined image typically produced without a filter.

The Black Pro-Mist component of this versatile filter works to subtly reduce the value of the highlights, while gently lowering the overall contrast. This feature is particularly useful for smoothing out facial wrinkles and other blemishes, making it a popular choice 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 strikes the perfect balance, providing more contrast and highlight reduction than the 1/4, but less than the 1, while still allowing for a soft, pastel-like quality of light.

Crafted using Tiffen's innovative ColorCore technology, this high-quality filter is constructed by laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass, then grinding it flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. This meticulous process ensures a durable and effective filter that measures 4 x 5.65" / 101.6 x 143.5mm, suitable for a variety of camera lenses.
