Tiffen Black Pro Mist 1/4 vs 1/2 - Review and Comparison

[@matthewmaccarthy8542]

For anyone who is interested; When Tiffen created Pro Mist Filters they created the different strengths in order to provide a consistent level of filtration across the range of focal length lenses because the filtration effect increases as the focal length of the lens becomes more telephoto. A 1/4 pro mist (black or white) will be much stronger on a 85mm lens than it will be on a 25mm lens. A common formula for using Pro Mist Filters is 1/2 Promist for 18mm and wider, the 1/4 Pro Mist for 25mm - 35mm lenses, and 1/8 for 50mm and above. I hope this is information is useful.

[@BrookedeRosa]

What do you suggest for 35-50mm? Thanks for this info!

[@matthewmaccarthy8542]

@@BrookedeRosa I would use the 1/4 Pro Mist for that. But as long as it's a lighter filter for any lens longer than 50mm and a heavier filter for any lens wider than 35mm that's what's most important if the goal is to maintain a consistent level of filtration from image to image.

you are the fucking GOAT! this is life understanding information!

[@michaeljimenez7465]

This is gold! Thank you for the insight!

[@dicekolev5360]

I was torn apart for few days if I should take both or only 1/8 for my new 35mm lens and I got only the 1/8. Just got it in my hands and still decided to watch some more reviews and now your comment got me little upset I didn't purchased both, haha but we'll see how it will works :))

Du Ehrenmann! Hab mir gerade den 1/2 bestellt und freue mich jetzt noch mehr drauf. Danke man! 😊

[@HerSoulVacation]

New sub! I’m going to test the Tiffen 1/2 with the Hollywood black magic 1/2. I want it mostly for my talking head videos because my Sony 6600 has that sharp digital look to it. I’m old, but not as old as Sony makes me look 😂

[@filterboy8750]

Black Pro Mist is always a solid choice. Maybe check out my videos on the Soft Fx and especially the Black Diffusion line if softening skin is your main priority.

[@NAZZBASHA]

The shots at the start looks amazing dude, that nostalgic cinematic look 🙌🏽🙏🏽

[@KaiyaKramer]

Great comparisons and beautiful shots thank you

Just what I was looking for! Thanks for posting; liked/subbed!

[@deadlepoyo5347]

Great, thanks for the comparison!

[@TexpatOTG]

I have 3 ProMist. I friend gave them to me. I haven't used them yet, I need to buy an adapter. So far the 1/4 looks like something I could use.

[@LukasHauf]

Well done and good job in putting it together

[@dtrecoston]

Great Video. Super Helpful. especially the DIY filter lol

[@sonpois]

Your english is great!

[@robertolopezfoto]

"I am so confused on getting the 1/8 or 1/4, I have a gh5 and a bmpcc 4k, I think 1/4 is to strong for the bmpcc4k and the 1/8 is too subtle to the gh5" please help me here,

[@michaeljimenez7465]

Gotta pick up both!

[@simoonair]

Great video!! What do you think about the ‘warm’ filter version ? Tks.

[@joonajks]

Would the 1/4 black pro mist be great for beauty make up tutorial in your opinion?

[@Always1Ambitious]

Yes

[@joonajks]

@@Always1Ambitious thank you!

[@Always1Ambitious]

Joon kinloch I use it for portrait photography and videos. 1/4th is perfect and the perfect amount of effect

@Lee 1227 thank you!

Very good presentation!

[@sigvardbjorkman]

Is there any way to get a Tiffen Black ProMist filter on an Irix 15mm 2.4 with a 95mm filter thread to keep a small profile of the setup? Tiffen here don't sell the size 95mm unfortunately... The Irix also has a rear gel filter holde however, so is it possible to use that slot instead maybe? To somehow cut a small filter to size and have it at the rear of the Irix? I will also use a Speedbooster and is there alternatively a possibility to put a filter in there somehow instead? I wish to keep a small profile to my camera setup with a wide angle lens like this but still have a Tiffen Black ProMist filter on it. Any thoughts?

[@benmetzger1718]

Tolles Video sehr informativ !

[@chumalanguageschool]

Thank u..very informative

[@jeehway]

Amazing look with rx10. I was wondering how it will be look like my z90 with bpm filter and your works helps me a lot. Can i ask what picture profile did you use and how did you color graded it?

[@filterboy8750]

Thanks. I mostly filmed in the default Slog 2 profile for most shots. Some night scenes were filmed in Cine 2 I think. I mostly used a generic m31 LUT for grading and just did some basic contrast changes. Its orange/teal look makes almost everything look good. Some shots at the river in the beginning were graded with an "Alexa Look" Phantom LUT. Hope that helps :)

Do these filters screw on top of other filter like vairiable NDs?

[@filterboy8750]

Yes. But you should always put on the diffusion filter first to get the particles as close to your sensor as possible.

[@michaeljimenez7465]

Liked and subbed! Thanks!

[@proteinburger5194]

Wo hast du den Filter gekauft? Auf Amazon lese ich nur bei den Reviews, dass ein alter, benutzer Filter verschickt wird. Wenn du auch auf Amazon gekauft hast, kannst du berichten, ob du ähnliche Erfahrung gemacht hast. Habe echt Lust auf den Filter, bin mir jetzt aber unsicher, wo ich den bestellen soll.

[@filterboy8750]

Ich hab fast alle meine Tiffen Filter bisher bei Amazon gekauft. Und ja, bei manchen wirkte die Verpackung nicht unbedingt frisch und ungeöffnet. Die Filter an sich waren aber bisher nie beschädigt von daher ist es mir relativ egal gewesen. Achte vielleicht einfach darauf, dass der Versand auch von Amazon gemacht wird. Dann kannst du den Filter eigentlich immer ohne Probleme zurückschicken falls doch mal was ist.

[@proteinburger5194]

@@filterboy8750 Ok, vielen Dank !

[@ProferHarbach]

@@proteinburger5194 und? Bestellt? Bin kurz davor zu bestellen bei amazon.. davor jahrelang diy filter benutzt immer zufrieden gewesen aber will auch mal das original ausprobieren haha

[@yves-sl.460]

Hey! Thank you for the share. Can you remember a little bit the value of the lenses used for the firsts shots? To 0:41 to 0:53

[@filterboy8750]

It was all shot on the Sony RX-10 ll which comes with a fixed zoom lens. So everything you see in this video was shot on the same lens at mostly F2.8 at various focal lengths. Since the camera has a camcorder sized censor you have to zoom in quite a lot to get that shallow depth of field you can see in the shots you are referring to. I'm pretty sure I only used the BPM 1/4 for these shots. That's really all I can tell you...

[@limjs8674]

I bought the regular 1/8 Pro Mist filter instead of the 1/8 Black Pro Mist filter, will there be a huge difference?

[@buddyWalrus]

it looks like the black version retains a little more contrast and virtually the same halation, maybe slightly reduced. But at 1/8 strength it's probably not noticeable.
