The Tiffen 2 x 2" Black Pro-Mist 5 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 5 density provides the greatest 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. This filter measures 2 x 2" / 50.8 x 50.8mm.

A: The Tiffen Black Pro-Mist Filter (77mm, Grade 1/4) is not compatible with the Fujifilm X100F natively. You would need the FUJIFILM AR-X100 Adapter Ring BH #FUARX100B to attach 49mm filters to that camera. Then you can use the Tiffen Black Pro-Mist Filter (49mm, Grade 1/4) BH #TIBPMQ49 in that adapter ring.

Q: 10. for shooting slog / flat profiles in 10bit, indoors/less than ideal lighting, would it make sense to get a weaker pro mist, like 1/8?
