The Tiffen 55mm Nude/FX 6 Filter is a skin tone enhancing filter that provides gentle warmth to the image and helps to smooth out blemishes. This filter works by infusing the background areas of the scene with the filter tone and blending the skin tones with additional warmth. The 6 density provides more skin tone enhancement than the 5.

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: 4. How is this lens different from the previous 18-55 EF-S, other than a slightly smaller maximum aperture (f/4 versus previous f/3.5)?

A: There are a few differences between this lens and the f/3.5-5.6 versions. First, its size is about 20% smaller. Second is the lens extends in a linear motion when zooming in and out. There is no moving back and forth of the front element. I find this makes for a smoother zoom action when doing video. Third is the rear of the lens is sealed with a glass plate or element so the chance of getting dust in the lens is greatly reduced. Overall, the build quality is good for a kit lens. Optically, I can't say if it is better but I find it is a very good performer for such an inexpensive lens. It is surprisingly sharp and I haven't noticed the f/4.0 on the wide end being an issue. It has very good image stabilization so this helps. Plus, IQ is very good for a kit lens. I use it way more than I thought I would.

Q: 6. The listing says that it's MFT, just wanting to confirm that it will work with the Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K? I'm also curious about recommended focus/zoom/iris controls for a live broadcast setup?

A: The BMD Studio Camera 4K does have an MFT mount. These lenses will work with that camera. However they are manual cinema lenses. For Focus, Zoom and Iris Control you would need to look at a system like the Tilta Nucleus-M and add a 3rd motor to it.
