The Tiffen 82mm Pro-Mist 1/2 Filter is a classic diffusion filter widely used by cinematographers to create a softer, more atmospheric image by subtly reducing sharp contrast and smoothing blemishes.1 Its $1/2$ density offers a noticeable, yet not overpowering, effect that gently blooms highlights and gives bright light sources a pleasing, soft glow. When mounted on a standard 82mm lens, this filter is highly effective at adding a gentle, nostalgic, or dreamy aesthetic to footage without significantly sacrificing overall image sharpness.
These Hollywood/FX® filters were originally designed for the TV and Motion Picture industry, but are now available to all photographers and videographers.
