Tiffen 49mm Pro-Mist 1/8 - New in Box
The Tiffen 49mm Pro-Mist 1/8 Filter
helps to reduce the value of the highlights while noticeably 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 1/8 density provides less contrast and highlight reduction than the
1/4, while also allowing 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, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and then mounting to precision metal rings.

Tiffen Pro-Mist Filters are used to diffuse hard edges,
reduce wrinkles in skin, and soften pastoral settings, rendering a mist
look while minimizing light flare. Available in strengths of 1/8, 1/4,
1/2, 1, 2 & 3.
When used with digital video cameras, the mid range strengths like 1/2
and 1 help reduce the sharpness normally associated with video.

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.
