The Tiffen 82mm Pearlescent 1/2 Filter can be applied to purposely soften contrast and reduce sharpness. This can be useful for high-resolution digital cinematography in order to create a more flattering result of a subject by reducing the appearance of blemishes and softening highlights. Additionally, a pearlescent halo around highlights is created which can further enhance a subject's appearance or produce a desired effect.

This filter has a grade of 1/2. Grades of 1/8, 1/4, 1, and 2 are also available where this filter type's effect becomes approximately twice as strong with each grade number increase.

This filter is 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: 10. Would this fit on a Sony/Zeiss 35mm 2.8 with E mount?

A: I have a Nikon lens with a 52mm circumference. When I bought the filter, all it specified was the size of the ring, not what manufacturer it was made for. It is a GREAT filter, I use it on all my lenses, now (whatever sized the lens requires). My guess is it would fit if your lense mount is 52 mm. You might Google E-mount difference from Nikon filter mount and see what comes up.
