The Tiffen 4.5" Round Black Pro-Mist 1/2 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 1/2 density provides a small amount of contrast and highlight reduction and allows for a soft, pastel-like quality of light.

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.

Q: 9. ‏ I'm debating between the K-1 Mark II full frame and the K-3 mark III.  As a photographer who mainly loves nature and wildlife photography, and after following the new data on the K-3 mark III, I want to know what do you think will be advantage to my needs in the new camera?  And does the figure of 36.4mp in k-1 compared to 26mp not play a role?

A: While comprehensive testing has not yet been independently done on the K3 Mk III, their new flagship APS-C camera on paper seems to be great for all of the kinds of photography you are interested in. However, the typical advantages between full-frame and APS-C still apply. These typically involve low-light performance, sharpness/detail resolving/visual clarity, and wider FOV versus crop-factor. Because the K3 Mk III is newer, the gap between them will have lessened, but are probably still present. Both cameras, however, would be great choices for landscape, wildlife, and other kinds of photography.

Q: 10. Is the little clear plastic thing supposed to be the rear lens cap?
