The Tiffen 77mm Warm Pro-Mist 5 Filter Reviewhelps 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.

A: The Canon 14mm lens has a built-in lens hood and a bulging front element. Therefore, you won't be able to use an adapter that is designed to be screwed onto the lens such as the Cokin Z-Pro filter holder. Check out adapters that are specifically made for your lens, such as the Lee SW150 Mark II. Hope this helps.

Q: 9. I'm ready to sell this filter because on my camcorder......Panasonic AG-AC90 it makes everything kind of reddish...Like the trees....and even the sky is kind of weird.Any advice?I'm doing something wrong or what?Thanks

A: The Tiffen XLE Advantix filter is designed for shooting extreme long exposures with still cameras to capture motion (waterfalls, streams, clouds, etc). This filter is not designed for video cameras. Here is the Tiffen product description:The Tiffen XLE Series ADVANTIX filter is designed to be used on DSLR cameras in B&W or Color mode, plus APS-C sensors in these modes when used in combination with lenses approved for IR photography. Designed to take extreme long exposure photographs in manual set up, the ADVANTIX filter will allow you to blur any movement in your image. The intensity of this effect is achieved through adjustments in manual mode of aperture, shutter and ISO settings. Designed to remove the near IR polluting light waves, the ADVANTIX removes these polluting light waves by introducing an active absorbing element. This element adds a slight greenish color cast to the filter, which can be adjusted for, either in your cameras white balance settings or in your post software afterwards. If shooting stills, the reddish cast in your image can be fixed by adjusting the still cameras white balance or in post with Lightroom.
