The 82mm MCS Black Pro-Mist 1/2 Filter from Tiffen helps reduce highlight values while slightly lowering overall image contrast. Especially useful for smoothing out and softening facial wrinkles and other blemishes in motion picture and video applications, this Magnetic Control System filter can also be used for fashion and beauty still imaging applications. Unlike a traditional diffusion or soft focus filter, Pro-Mist filters provide little loss of detail across the image. Grade 1/2 filters provide more contrast and highlight reduction than Grade 1/4, but less than Grade 1 filters while still providing a soft, pastel-like quality of light.
