The Tiffen 86mm Coarse Thread Warm Pro-Mist 1 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 density provides a subtle 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. Does It fit in front of a Sigma 300-800 EX DG ?

A: No it does not. The front of the Sigma 300-800 EX DG lens is not threaded to be able to accept any type of conventional screw-on front filter. It has a special 46mm filter holder in the rear of the lens.

Q: 2. 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.
