The Tiffen 105mm Coarse Thread Warm Black Pro-Mist 1/4 Filter helps 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 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: 5. I read some comment that this len has some issues: 1) it doesn't support the Phase Detection AF in NEX 6, is this true? I will be getting SONY a6000, does this len support the fast phase detection and eye AF in a6000? 2) heavy pincushion distortion from 30mm and above, has this been resolved ?

A: We are not aware of any compatibility issues with the 18-105 and the A6000. Because of its long focal length range wide constant f/stop, the lens does exhibit some pincushion distortion in RAW files. JPEGS are corrected in camera and RAW files can be fixed in post with lens profiles for Lightroom and Photoshop.

A: You'd be able to use the switch on the lens, the zoom ring, or from the grip block on the FS700.

Q: 10. Two questions: Can you manually focus without damaging the motor, Finally, how sharp are the images?. Reports say so-so

A: Images look great and sharp. Obviously, it will make a difference how far you are from subject, and all the various settings - such as F-stop, lighting, and of course, if you are focused well. As long as images are taken normally, you will be able to count every hair on a person's face! Why wouldn't that be the case - especially with a lens of this price! (It was the case with the 16-55 Sony a6000 kit lens too, but this has the advantage of F4 even when fully zoomed in, and zooms twice as far, and has better optical stabilization - and looks cooler too!:) BTW, what are these comments about not forcing lens rings; they turn continuously. Does it mean not too quickly?
