The 95mm Tiffen Black Pro-Mist Filter 95mm Grade 2helps 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 2 density provides more contrast and highlight reduction than the 1, but less than the 3, while still allowing for a soft, pastel-like quality of light.

A: Tiffen diffusion filters come in various strengths ranging from 1/8 to 5 depending upon the filter type. The lower the #, the less effect. The higher the #, the greater the effect.

A: Tiffen’s website state the following: The Pro-Mist filter is a popular motion picture effect that creates a special "atmosphere" by softening excess sharpness and contrast. It generates a pearlescent halo around highlights. Lighter grades are useful in toning down the excessive sharpness and contrast of contemporary film and lens combinations. The Black Pro-Mist offers all the benefits of the Pro-Mist filter in a more subtle form. Highlight flares are controlled. Contrast is lowered, but with less lightening of shadows for a more delicate effect. Tones down excessive sharpness to create the "film look".
