Tiffen Black Promist Filters 4x5.65" (1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1)

Few diffusion filters are as recognisable or as widely used as the Black Pro-Mist. Found on feature films, television dramas, commercials and music videos, they've become a favourite among cinematographers looking to reduce the clinical sharpness of modern digital sensors while maintaining a natural-looking image.

Black Pro-Mist filters subtly soften fine detail, smooth skin tones and create a gentle bloom around practical lights and highlights, giving footage a more organic, film-inspired character. Unlike stronger diffusion effects, they preserve good overall contrast while taking the edge off overly sharp digital images, making them suitable for a huge variety of productions.

This set includes 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 and 1 strengths, allowing you to choose the amount of diffusion to suit each project. The lighter filters are ideal for interviews, documentaries and corporate productions where only a subtle effect is required, while the stronger filters are popular for narrative filmmaking, commercials and music videos where a more distinctive cinematic look is desired.

Supplied in the industry-standard 4x5.65" format, these filters integrate seamlessly with professional matte boxes including the ARRI LMB 4x5Arri Clip On Matte Box LMB 4x5The ARRI LMB 4x5 is a professional 15mm rail-mounted matte box designed for film and television productions of all sizes.
