ProMist 2 Filter
Outdoors
or indoors, in broad scenics or portraits, the Pro-Mist is excellent
for toning down excessive sharpness and reducing contract by moderately
lightening shadow areas without detracting from the overall image. This
is especially useful given the contrast and extremely sharp resolution
produced by contemporary film and video lenses. Pro-Mist filters
give your portraits that extra edge of professionalism. The various
grades allow you to soften contrast to whatever degree you feel your
subject requires. Pro-Mist F/X filters are available in grades
from one-half through five, with grade 5 having the greatest effect;
Effect of lighter grades is subtle, with higher grades becoming
gradually more noticeable. Graduated Neutral Density Filter
Often it is necessary
or desirable to balance the light intensity in one part of a scene with
another. This is especially true in situations where you don't have
total light control, as in bright contrasting landscapes. Exposing for
the foreground will produce a washed-out, over-exposed sky while
exposing for the sky will leave the foreground dark and under-exposed.
This filter enables cloud detail to be kept correctly exposed in the
picture. Determining which graduated neutral density filter
yields ideal results for any given lighting situation takes knowledge,
experience and a collection of such filters. Choose the filter strength
which adjusts the lighting to stay within the exposure latitude
(greatest difference between bright/dark values) which still shows
details in both of the digital or film medium in use. Speaking
generally, the 2-stop value (ND 0.6 - the filter's clear portion allows
4x more light to pass vs. darkest portion) effectively compensates
average bright sky-to-foreground situations, and the soft transition is
applicable more often to a scene than the hard transition. Pro Mist Filters Creates a special atmosphere by softening excess sharpness and contrast Generates a pearlescent halo around highlights Lighter grades are useful in toning down the excessive sharpness and contrast of contemporary film and lens combinations Neutral Density filters have four main uses To
enable slow shutter speeds to be used, especially with high speed
films, to record movement in subjects such as waterfalls, clouds, or
cars To decrease depth of field by allowing wider apertures to be used, which helps separate subjects from their background To decrease the effective ISO of high speed film (above ISO 400) and allow it to be used outdoors in bright situations To
allow cine and video cameras (which have fixed shutter speeds) to film
subjects such as snow, sand or other bright scenes which could cause
overexposure Neutral Density factors ND.3 (exposure adjustment = 1 stop, reduces ISO 1/2) ND.6 (exposure adjustment = 2 stops, reduces ISO 1/4) ND.9 (exposure adjustment = 3 stops, reduces ISO 1/8) ND1.2 (exposure adjustment = 4 stops, reduces ISO 1/16) ColorCore Technology Tiffen
filters are manufactured using ColorCore technology, a closely guarded
proprietary process that entails permanently laminating the filter
material in between two pieces of optical glass that are ground flat to
tolerances of a ten-thousandth of an inch, then mounting them in
precision metal rings The
ColorCore process allows Tiffen to control the color and density of
their filters, and the characteristics of special effects filters with
much greater accuracy than typical dyed-in-the-mass filters, which
usually exhibit color and density variations. Superior Quality Top
Hollywood motion picture studios rely on Tiffen filters for their
multimillion-dollar productions Superior quality and design make Tiffen
the overwhelming choice of movie makers, professional photographers and
even NASA Tiffen has also been awarded an Emmy, from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, for its engineering excellence | |
Filters, like all crafted optics, are susceptible not only to breakage, but to premature aging caused by environmental factors. Most filters are made up of several layers of materials consisting of glass, dyes, optical cements, chemical compounds, particles etc. Even with protective measures employed, there are many factors that can still affect the longevity of the filter: moisture (prolonged exposure to humidity), excessive heat and excessive light are the most common environmental causes that can affect the filter’s chemistry over time.
To protect your filters and keep them in great working condition for a long time (along with the rest of your camera gear) we recommend making sure to keep the filters stored in a dark, cool, and dry place when not in use. The use of filter pouches or specialized cases will also keep your filters safe from breakage when not in use. If you are in a humid environment, the addition of fresh silica gel packs or a dehumidifier in the room they are stored is also highly recommended. Protecting your filters as you would your camera lenses will ensure many years of use of your filters.
What do you recommend cleaning filters with?
Hand blower first, if it's just light dust, that usually handles it. If you need to clean further, a Kim Wipe sprayed with Tiffen/Pancro Lens Cleaner, work in a circular motion from the middle out.
