The Formatt 82mm Supermist Black 1/2 Filter is a great portrait filter since it diffuses minute details of a photo and reduces the overall contrast. This filter creates milder diffusion than a standard Supermist with one of the benefits being that it does not open up shadow areas as much. 

Anyone who shoots portraits should have a diffusion filter in their bag and the Supermist Black gives you the freedom to create the most flattering images.  

Formatt, a company with three generations of professional filter-making experience produces every filter to the highest technical standards. The finest materials, together with state of-the-art production technology have resulted in a standard of optical excellence unmatched anywhere else.

Q: 3. Can't decide between the Sony Distagon T* FE 35mm f/1.4 versus the Zeiss Batis Lens 2/25 for my Sony A7iii (for street photography and portrait)?. Any input is very much appreciated! - Thank you!

A: They are quite different lenses, The 35 mm is a great lense with awesome bokeh, if you want something wider than a 50 mm but with a natural look, it's a great lens.The 25 mm will be even wider, but I think it's starts to get a more pronounced wide-angle look, it's ok if you want to have the environment around your subject, but if you get to close the distortion might be less pleasing.
