The Tiffen Series 9 Black Pro-Mist 2 Filterhelps 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 a moderate amount of contrast and highlight reduction and allows for a soft, pastel-like quality of light.

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.

[Glass] I use this softening filter in certain landscape situations, not necessarily for portraiture. And guess what, that can be lots of fun! I use it with my 105 Nikor micro lens occasionally and can get the most dreamy look, just gorgeous. No kidding. I also have the 77mm size, pro mist 3 for the 70-200 zoom. Really can't tell much difference between the #2 and #3 strength. Get the black version if you don't want some halos around the highlights. I like the halos personally. The more backlighting or highlights with light areas, the more halos 5

[0.22 lb] Great all purpose filter. Definitely smooths skin and blooms highlights for a modern cinematic look. 1/4 is strong enough for most situations while not being too strong to be distracting. 5

[0.22 lb] I bought this to basically live on my Viltrox 27 1.2 for X-Mount, which is just a little too sharp for my Boudoir clients. This fixes my problem perfectly- it just takes the edge off. 5

[0.22 lb] This gave me the 90’s unique look I was going for! 5

[Glass] This filter lowers contrast (functionally increasing dynamic range) and adds a glowy bloom around the highlights in your image. I have been enjoying the look they provide to get away from the sharp digital video look and lean more into cinema/film looks. You need to watch out for clipping areas like bright lights and windows however, because these filters do cause lens flares and ghosting with extreme sources of overexposed areas. 5

[0.22 lb] I bought the 1/4 and 1/8 Black-Pro-Mist filters for myself recently but I have been using them for years on a number of productions and they always help in achieving the 'look' that so many modern filmmakers desire. There's a reason why their diffusion filter is so trusted and praised even years after the competition has had time to catch up. You get so much value for your money and you can honestly never go wrong with using either of these filters. 5
