The Tiffen Warm Black Pro-Mist 2 Filter 4x5.65"helps 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 offering a soft, pastel-like quality of light.

This filter also combines the diffusion effect with an 812 warming filter for providing a general warmth to the image and for improving skin tones. This warming effect also helps to reduce blue sensitivity and for cutting through overly cool tones within the scene.

Tiffen filters are made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass and grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. This filter measures 4 x 5.65" / 101.6 x 143.5mm.

Q: 9. can i stack ND filter with it ?

A: The NiSi 82mm Black Mist Filter 1/8 (B&H# NIBME82), as with all circular NiSi Black Mist Filters 49-95mm in diameter, has both rear male and front female filter threads. As such, it may be added on top of existing filters, and additional filters may be added to it. Of course, adding more than one filter can sometimes result in vignetting, so you'll need to experiment to see if that works for your lens and intended usage or if you will need first to add a step-up ring and use a larger diameter filter to eliminate it.
