The Tiffen Series 9 Warm Pro-Mist 5 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 5 density provides the greatest 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. This filter is compatible with Series 9 filter holders.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this holder produce vignetting with a Canon 17-40 lens on a full frame body?

A: No, you should not have an issue with using the Canon 17-40mm lens with the Cokin Z-PRO Filter Holder. The Canon 17-40mm uses 77mm filters, and would need the Cokin 77mm Z-PRO Adapter Ring (0.75mm Pitch Thread), B&H # COARZP77, to connect the adapter ring to the filter holder. The Cokin Z-PRO filter holder is large enough for lenses with 95mm filter threads, and would be large enough to prevent vignetting on the 17-40mm lens.

Q: 2. Is this compatible with the Cokin P Series Universal Adapter Ring?

A: No. You will need to purchase the Cokin Z-Pro Adaptor Ring - COARZP.. for your size lens. Mine happened to be a 77mm Adaptor Ring. This will be compatible with the Z-Pro Filter holder.

Q: 3. Can I mount the filter holder on a circular polarizer screwed on to a 77mm lens?

A: It should work just fine. You will need to settle on the best rotation for the polarizer before you slide the filter holder down vertically over the adapter ring but that's not a big deal.

Q: 4. can i use cokin z-pro holder for lee filters and adaptor rings for sony camera lenses?

A: I know that you can use the Cokin filter holders with the Sony lenses. You have to by the correct adapter disc (the disc that the Cokin holder mounts to) which for most standard Sony E lenses will be 49mm.

Q: 5. will this work with schneider 4x5.65 filters? also, will it work with Cavision 4 x 5.65 Circular Polarizer Filter? thanks!

A: I have a 4x4in tiffen red filter and also a 4x5.65in ND Grad Tiffen filter that I use with my z-pro adapter. Unless it is a grad filter there isn't really a reason I know of to get a 4x5.65 size, if its a filter that doesn't need to move up or down in the holder buy the 4x4 size. As for circular polarizers, I use the regular screw onto the lens size and then I screw the cokin z-pro adapter ring into the polarizer. I will adjust the alignment of my polarizer and then turn the holder separately. I like keeping the adjustment of my polarizer separate from my filter alignment. I also don't want to always have to set up the z-pro just to use a polarizer. I Hope this helps.

Q: 6. Can Two filters be stacked in the Z-Pro Holder at the same time?

A: Yes. Up to 3 Standard Z-PRO Filters (2mm thick) can fit in the Z-Pro holder at one time.

Q: 7. Am trying buy to 77mm adapter ring for my Cokin Z pro filter. Can I use any brand of adapter ring with this product (Z-PRO Filter Holder) or does the adapter have to be Cokin brand? Thank you.

A: Yes, you would have to use the Cokin 77mm Z-PRO Adapter Ring (0.75mm Pitch Thread), B&H # COARZP77, for use with the Cokin Z-PRO Filter Holder. We do not have third-party adapter rings that are compatible with the Cokin Z-PRO Filter Holder.

Q: 8. I am interested in purchasing good quality graduated ND and reverse grad ND filters for landscape photography, perhaps Singh-Ray or equivalent. I use a Canon 5D Mk III with EF 24-70, f/2.8 (82mm) and EF 70-200, f/2.8 (77mm) lenses. In the future, I may also purchase a wider angle prime lens (say 12-14mm) for landscape work. I would like to be able to mount the grad ND filters on these lenses but am not familiar at all with Cokin or any other holders. What would you advise about the type of adapters and holders I should be researching? Thank you.

A: I highly recommend Cokin filters. I have been using them for a long time. You need an adapter ring for your77mm lens. I have a 77mm lens and a 67mm lens. I also have a 67mm adapter for my 67mm lens. Cokinfilters are much cheaper then Sing-Ray and Lee filters. Good shooting.
