The Tiffen 4 x 4" Warm Pro-Mist 2 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 2 density provides more contrast and highlight reduction than the 1, but less than the 3, while also allowing 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 and grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. This filter measures 4 x 4" / 101.6 x 101.6mm.

Q: 1. 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: 2. Does this filter rotate to adjust the polarizing effect?

A: Yes it does rotate to adjust the polarizing effect.

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. 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: 6. Hi, Does this kit work on alexa camera ? do anyone know what ll it look like after using at alexa ?Tks

A: These filters will work with an Alexa camera as long as you have a Matte Box or Filter Holder capable of holding 4x5.65 filters which are 4mm thick. You may start to see IR pollution when using the higher densities in this kit, so we recommend that you use Full Spectrum ND filters with an IR filter built in such as the ones listed below:IRND1.2a href= http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/572932-REG/Tiffen_45650IRND12_4x5_65_Neutral_Density_1_2.html target= _blank http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/572932-REG/Tiffen_45650IRND12_4x5_65_Neutral_Density_1_2.html/aIRND.9a href= http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/572944-REG/Tiffen_45650IRND9_4x5_65_Neutral_Density_0_9.html target= _blank http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/572944-REG/Tiffen_45650IRND9_4x5_65_Neutral_Density_0_9.html/aIRND.6a href= http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/572942-REG/Tiffen_45650IRND6_4x5_65_Neutral_Density_0_6.html target= _blank http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/572942-REG/Tiffen_45650IRND6_4x5_65_Neutral_Density_0_6.html/aIRND.3a href= http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/572940-REG/Tiffen_45650IRND3_4x5_65_Neutral_Density_0_3.html target= _blank http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/572940-REG/Tiffen_45650IRND3_4x5_65_Neutral_Density_0_3.html/a
