Tiffen 55mm Black Pro-Mist 1/8 Filter

Elevate Your Visuals with the Tiffen Black Pro-Mist 1/8

The Tiffen 55mm Black Pro-Mist 1/8 Filter has remained a favorite among cinematographers for over three decades. By introducing a unique layering of contrast combined with a gauzy, paint-like halation, this filter functions as a sophisticated tool for managing the clinical sharpness of modern digital sensors. Even at this 1/8 density, it provides a noticeable increase in halation that adds a pleasing depth of warmth to your images.

Refined Contrast and Highlight Control

Unlike traditional diffusion filters, the Black Pro-Mist series is designed to control highlight flares while lowering overall contrast. The result is a more delicate effect that avoids the excessive lightening of shadows. This creates a soft, "pastel" light quality that is particularly effective in high-contrast environments.

• Subtle Halation: Creates a glowing effect around light sources without washing out the frame.
• Portrait Perfection: Naturally softens skin textures, wrinkles, and blemishes for a flattering look.
• Consistent Performance: Maintains color neutrality and skin tone values across various lighting conditions.

Engineered for Excellence

Each filter is crafted using Tiffen's ColorCore technology. This process involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass and grinding them flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. This ensures that every 55mm filter provides the reliability and optical clarity required for professional film and video production.
