The Tiffen 55mm Pro-Mist 3 Filter helps to reduce the value of the highlights while noticeably 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 3 density provides more contrast and highlight reduction than the 2, but less than the 4, while also allowing 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, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and then mounting to precision metal rings.

Q: 3. Has anyone used this lens with the LEE Filter System? Any vignetting or reflection issues?

A: No reflection issues specific to this configuration, i use this lens and lee filter system with compendium. Reflection depends a lot on light source and angle as well - you'll get reflections if you are shooting directly into the sun

Q: 4. This wont come out for a C300 mark II right?

A: You are correct. This lens is made for the short flange depth of the mirrorless E mount standard and is thus incompatible with the longer flange depth of the mirrored camera EF mount standard. The lens, even if you were to mount it, would therefore not be able to focus on the C300 sensor. It would be too close and focus it's picture somewhere behind the sensor's image plane. The nice thing for E mount users is how this lens is smaller, lighter and speaking to it's quality and features, relatively inexpensive.

Q: 5. I have hunted far and wide for an answer to a rather basic feature: What is the magnification ratio for the Macro function? Does this do full 1:1 Macro? At what focal length(s)?

A: Unfortunately, Fujinon has not published magnification numbers. We can say the back focus ring also functions as the macro focus ring by pressing a small button. Then the lens can focus on objects 1'2.9 / 0.38m. When not using macro function, the minimum focus distance is 2'9/85cm.

Q: 6. I own a Canon EOS m50 crop sensor body and EOS mount adapter. I am still interested in buying this versatile lens (if not, then 24-70mm f/2.8), but still wish to know more information regarding cleaning a lens as I like to be as thorough as I can when understanding lenses, as a hobbyist. I’m very careful with handling my kit lenses and telephoto lens which are all weather sealed. Has anyone who owns this lens had any issues with dissembling and re-assembling it when cleaning it themselves, if any dust particles appeared? Several youtube videos showed how to disassemble and reassemble when cleaning the lens. Where I live there is a camera shop, but I highly doubt they’ll be able to fix a related issue or worse condition, “should” something arise or no repair parts. May request to send overseas for repairs, which will cost more money. Very curious. Thanks in advance.

A: I would highly recommend that you do NOT disassemble a lens. Putting it back together in the hopes that all the elements will be aligned properly is ill-advised, I would leave it to a professional to clean a lens if need be.

Q: 7. I'm shooting on a Blackmagic 6kPro using a Canon 16-35mm lens which is spec'd for use on a full frame sensor, the 6kPro has a Super 35 which is basically an APS-C. If I were to use the Canon 17-55mm lens, which is spec'd for the APS-C sensor, would I see a notable difference in the field of view?

A: Field of view would be the same if the lens is 17mm full frame or if it is 17mm apsc, the angle of view will be the same on the Blackmagic 6kPro. If you need something wider you need to go to 11mm like this one. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1119028-REG/canon_9520b002_ef_11_24mm_f_4l_usm.html

Q: 8. Is this lens compatible with a Canon 70D?

A: Yes. It has become my go to utility lens.

Q: 9. I want to verify that this product is compatible with a Cannon 70D Camera. This is a EP-S lens and they are compatible with a APS-C Sensor (the 70D) but can't find it on a list that is compatible to a Cannon 70D because it is a just released camera.

A: As the Canon EOS 70D DSLR camera has both an EF and EF-S lens mount, the camera accepts all EF and EF-S lenses manufactured by Canon, and would be fully compatible with the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Zoom Lens.

Q: 10. fit on canon ?

A: This will not fit any Canon mount. There could be an adapter available but most I've seen allow a former Canon user to use their Canon lenses on a Sony body. Look at the brands Metabones and Fotodiox.
