The 82mm Tiffen 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 more contrast and highlight reduction than the 1/8, but less than the 1/2, while still allowing for a soft, pastel-like quality of light.

A: Yes, you can use this PolarPro 95mm Course Thread Adapter on the Canon 28-70 2.0 and it will accept PolarPro 95mm filters. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1784168-REG/

Q: 2. What size would you recommend for the Nikkor Z 14-30mm f4 lens to use 2 filters stacked without vignetting?

A: The NiSi Swift FS ND Filter Kit (82mm) is not recommended when stacking filters on the Nikon NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S Lens. Nisi recommends this filter holder, BH #NIS6FHKSFT (https://bhpho.to/3O3Pt3g).

A: The PolarPro 82mm Peter McKinnon Mist Edition II VND ND64 to ND512 Filter (6 to 9-Stop) would have both diffusion and a variable ND filter built into one frame while the Signature II Edition would be just a variable ND.

Q: 4. The hood of the Canon RF 70-200 no longer fits. Is there a hood that will fit over the filter?

A: The outer diameter of the PolarPro 77mm Peter McKinnon Mist Edition II VND ND4 to ND32 Filter (2 to 5-Stop) is 90mm; therefore, you will not be able to connect the Canon ET-83FW III Lens Hood on the Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens.

Q: 5. Is the rotation smooth like a 'declicked' cine iris ring or does it have click stops like a traditional photo lens iris ring?

Q: 6. Would you recommend this filter kit for use with the Canon 24mm TS-E lens?
