The 72mm Tiffen 72mm Black Pro-Mist Filter Grade 4helps 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 more contrast and highlight reduction than the 3, but less than the 5, while still allowing for a soft, pastel-like quality of light.

A: As the Tiffen 77mm Black Pro-Mist 1 Filter, B&H # TIBPM177, has a 77mm front accessory thread, yes, you may connect a filter with rear 77mm filter threads onto the front of the Tiffen 77mm Black Pro-Mist 1 Filter.

Q: 5. Will a Tiffen 4x5.56 Black Pro Mist Filter fit in a Lee100 holder?

A: That holder will take filters up to 2mm in diameter. This type of filter (which is typically used with a matte box) can vary in thickness and therefore isn't recommended for use with that holder.

Q: 6. How thick is this filter? 2mm or 4mm?

A: I don't think they manufacture 4x4+ filters in a 2mm configuration as that's too brittle.These come in a manageable and sturdy 4mm configuration.

Q: 9. 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.

Q: 10. I have a Bower 35mm 1.5 cinelens. Will this filter fit on that lens?
