The Tiffen 86mm Warm Pro-Mist Filterhelps to reduce the value of the highlights while noticeably 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 4 density provides a very noticeable amount of contrast and highlight reduction and allows for 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, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and then mounting to precision metal rings.

Q: 1. Does this have multiple glasses as you rotate to adjust it.

A: This is a UV filter as opposed to a variable ND filter or Circular Polarizer which have an adjustment ring in front.

Q: 2. How many stops does this reduce the exposure?

A: 1-2 stops.

Q: 3. Will this filter work with a Canon 70-300mm USM IS telephoto lens?

A: yes it will and a good solid uv filter

Q: 4. Is this filter neutral?

Q: 5. will this 58mm zeiss filter also work with 58mm canon lenses?

A: Works perfectly well with 58mm canon lenses, and any 58mm screw-threaded type lense.

Q: 6. Will this fit on the 16-70 f/4 Zeiss lens for the sony A6300?

A: If you mean Sony Vario-Tessar T* E 16-70mm f/4 ZA OSS Lens, then I don't think so. The specs say that this lens has a 55mm front thread. This filter is 72mm.

Q: 7. will this filter work on a televue 85 scope and not affect sharp focusing of nature subjects ?

A: It would be almost impossible for this filter to affect sharpness. Your light is already traveling through huge amounts of glass. The idea that one tiny extra layer will make any difference is simply wrong-headed, yet many "pros" will tell you they never want to add another layer of glass. This is especially wrong when dealing with B+W, whose glass is made by Schott. Schott in Germany and Hoya in Japan make the finest laser optical glass in the world. It will be virtually perfect in every regard.

Q: 8. Will this filter work with the Nikon 500mm f/4.0P IF ED manual focus lens? Thank you

A: If any filter would work, the B+W would as they are the best make of filter available. With a brass black mount and optically perfect glass, you should not have any problems.

Q: 9. Is the material aluminum or brass?

A: The frames of Zeiss POL and UV filters are made of black anodized aluminium. This allows the best compromise between sturdiness and weight and allows them to be screwed-in smoothly into the chrome plated brass filter thread mounts of their lenses.

Q: 10. Good MorningMy question is very simple. Generally are UV Haze Filters, like this one, also recommended for HD CAMCORDERS wide lenses ? Or you recommend another one ?Carlos

A: You may use UV Haze filters on both still cameras and camcorders alike. However, the B+W 72mm UV Haze SC 010 Filter listed above would be a good recommendation for cameras that have a 35mm film full-frame focal length equivalent of 24mm or longer (to prevent vignetting). If the lens you own has a full-frame equivalent focal length wider than 24mm, then a slim filter would be recommended for use. As such, for wider lenses, I would instead recommend either the B+W 72mm UV Haze Slim MRC 010M Filter, B&H # BWUVMCS72, or the B+W 72mm XS-Pro UV MRC-Nano 010M Filter, B&H # BWUVXSP72.
