The Tiffen 4.5" Round Warm Pro-Mist 1/4 Filter helps 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 1/4 density provides a very small 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.

Q: 1. Is the Moose polarizing filter coated ? Thanks.

A: If you mean an anti-relfective coating, I do not believe so. However, I wouldn't classify this a neutral density filter either. I feel that it tends to muddle blues. That is skyies and water tend to come out not as vibrant. I suppose this is the 'warming' aspect of the filter.

Q: 2. Will these 95mm work with the DZOFilm Pictor 12-25mm BH #DZ122528B ?

A: The NiSi 95mm Professional Black Mist 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8 Filter Kit with Case will not work with the DZOFilm Pictor 12-25mm T2.8 Super35 Parfocal Zoom Lens (PL/EF, Black) as the lens accepts 86 mm screw in filters.

Q: 3. By the picture of this filter shown here it looks thicker than, for example, a Sony 72mm filter. Is it? I am concerned about vignetting when shooting wide angle. Is it considered a THIN filter? Why is it called a MOOSE? Hopefully because it is not big and Moosie!!

A: This is NOT a thin filter, by any means. It will cause vignetting an wide angle lenses. It is named after Moose Peterson, a long time Nikon user and pro photographer.

Q: 4. how do I remove it? I thought I screwed it on, but now I cant remove it by unscrewing!

A: It sounds like you may have screwed it in too tightly and the outer ring is probably spinning when you try to unscrew it. Please remember that it will be righty tighty lefty loosey. Try using something like a rubber band to grip the inner ring on the lens side and gently but firmly twist it in a counter clockwise direction as you are facing the filter on the lens.

Q: 5. how long does one last?

A: They're not thin + delicate; they'll last forever (unless you let them touch the modeling light, but otherwise).. They're tough.

Q: 6. can i stack ND filter with it ?

A: The NiSi 82mm Black Mist Filter 1/8 (B&H# NIBME82), as with all circular NiSi Black Mist Filters 49-95mm in diameter, has both rear male and front female filter threads. As such, it may be added on top of existing filters, and additional filters may be added to it. Of course, adding more than one filter can sometimes result in vignetting, so you'll need to experiment to see if that works for your lens and intended usage or if you will need first to add a step-up ring and use a larger diameter filter to eliminate it.

Q: 7. Can these Nisi black mist filters be used with the V7 filter holder and CPL? Or, are they meant to be used just by themselves. I would think they would make them in the 100x100 format to use in the V7 holder...that way you could use with more lenses too.

A: The NiSi 77mm Black Mist 1/4 and 1/8 Filter Kit are meant to be attached directly to the lens and not used in a holder.

Q: 8. Looking for some install info on filter. Is it self adhesive? Thank you!

A: The LEE Filters 809 Zircon Warm Amber 8 Filter (24 x 24" Sheet) is not self-adhesive, but it can be attached using gaffer's tape, wooden clothes pins or a specific gel frame for your light where applicable.

Q: 9. Does this tray hold mounted or non-mounted 4.5” round filters?

A: This tray can hold either mounted or non-mounted 4.5" round filters.

Q: 10. To be honest I have not researched lens composition. I read about this filter in a magazine many years ago and now have one for every lens. Does it make a difference? I have always assumed the lens was glass. As to light loss, I agree with another response and have never faced major light loss. If used in daylight it has never altered stops. Further, I would agree that light loss would be almost nothing to maybe 1 to 1.5 stops although the latter seems rather extreme. Not sure what you are looking for to render a decision, but I would never be without this lens, especially in the fall and doing landscapes/mountains.

A: I am 73 years old, have had one since they first came out. Now I have four.C.B.
