The 58mm Tiffen MCS Black Pro-Mist Filter 58mm Grade 1/2from Tiffen MCS Black Pro-Mist Filter 58mm Grade 1/2helps reduce highlight values while slightly lowering overall image contrast. Especially useful for smoothing out and softening facial wrinkles and other blemishes in motion picture and video applications, this Magnetic Control System filter can also be used for fashion and beauty still imaging applications. Unlike a traditional diffusion or soft focus filter, Pro-Mist filters provide little loss of detail across the image. Grade 1/2 filters provide more contrast and highlight reduction than Grade 1/4, but less than Grade 1 filters while still providing a soft, pastel-like quality of light.

This filter is part of Tiffen's Magnetic Control System (MCS) which allows filters to be swapped instantly rather than being slowly and tediously unscrewed and screwed in like conventional filters, saving valuable time when shooting in the moment. Each filter includes a magnetic mounting ring that allows it to quickly and securely attach to the front of a lens with no tools required. The separately available MCS step-up rings can adapt to the filter threads of almost any lens for added versatility. The filter set comes with a magnetic front cap to protect the filter and lens, plus a rear magnetic cap to protect the filter when not in use.

Q: 1. I would like to use it on a Z7 body with the FTZ adaptor. Would the in-focus indicator work ?

A: This will support an in-focus indicator since it does have the electronic connection points.

Q: 2. Have Canon EOS 18-55mm lens, thread size 58mm. Will this lens hood fit and work okay?

A: No, Sensei PRO 58mm Aluminum Lens Hood BH #SELHM58 works best for lenses 50mm and Longer (Full Frame). For the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II Lens BH #CA1855EFS, we would recommend the Sensei PRO 58mm Wide Angle Aluminum Lens Hood BH #SELHMW58 https://bhpho.to/2Y6OWDk.

Q: 3. I'm trying to mount the lens on the D850, but it gets stuck halfway through the rotation. It is normal?

A: Yes, when mounting new lens you will get a bit or tension when mounting the lens and this is normal play for new lens.

Q: 4. Does anyone else find the focusing ring a bit stiff? Mine runs smoothly, but not as smooth as my Nikkor AI-S lenses. I need to use two fingers and apply slight force to focus. I feel like it might be faulty.

A: The focusing ring would be stiff with the first few uses, but will loosen up over time.

Q: 5. Would you consider this lens as a good substitute for the Nikon 58mm on the Z8 camera with the FTZ2 adaptor?

A: The Nikon 58mm f/1.4 G lens will autofocus when used with the Nikon Z8 Mirrorless Camera and the Nikon FTZ II Mount Adapter. With the Voigtlander Nokton 58mm f/1.4 SL II S Lens and the Nikon FTZ II Mount Adapter, there is no autofocusing adapter for this lens but you can use manual focus peaking to focus manually.

Q: 6. Any idea if this would work with Mamiya 6 lenses? Would it vignette the 50mm wide angle lens?

A: Sensei PRO 58mm Wide Angle Aluminum Lens Hood will fit the Mamiya 6 50mm lens perfectly. The design allow wide angle lenses to blocked light glares without vignetting.

Q: 7. Will it work with a 16mm lens on APS-C camera or only starting with 18mm?

A: Yes, it will work on any lens with a 58mm filter thread and should cause vignetting with 16mm apsc lens.

Q: 8. Does Voigtlander Nokton 58mm f/1.4 SL II S Lens work with Nikon D5500's auto-exposure functions? I am guessing it won't autofocus but is it otherwise compatible?

A: You are correct, manual focus lenses like this will only prevent auto-focus and auto-aperture functions, but auto-exposure is handled by the camera and won't be prevented by the lens.

Q: 9. Does this vignette on the Fuji new 23mm/1.4 v2 wr lens?

A: Yes, the following hood is designed and made for lenses 50mm and longer.

Q: 10. Does the recommended accessory 62mm lens cap fit on the open end of the hood? (FWIW, a 55mm cap fits on similar hood that is designed to fit lenses with 49mm filter size.) If not, what if any cap will fit the hood?

A: Yes, the front threads of the hood are 62mm.
