The Tiffen Black Pro-Mist 4 Filter 4x5"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 4 density provides a very noticeable 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 and grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. This filter measures 4 x 5" / 101.6 x 127mm.

Q: 5. If I am shooting a longer lens like 85mm or 135mm will the intended strength of this beauty filter be considerably weaker with such a long focal length?

A: The rule of thumb is that you increase the strength of the filter with the focal length. Depending on the desired look, I use 1/8 for wide angle lenses up till 28mm and then use 1/4 from 35mm-75mm and if needed I use 1/2 from 85mm and upwards to keep a fairly consistent effect on all focal lengths. Obviously it depends on your preference and how strong an effect you want.
