The 1/4-grade, 82mm Tiffen Black Pro-Mist Filter helps to reduce the value of the highlights while slightly 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 1/4 density provides more contrast and highlight reduction than the 1/8, but less than the 1/2, while still allowing for a soft, pastel-like quality of light.

Filter looks undamaged so I’ll keep it. Case is badly broken, not happy about that.
Great filter

Uses it on a sunset hike. Adds a nice soft bloom to shots facing into the sun. Good build quality. My only complaint I wish all filter makers would provide a soft punch for the filter as it’s more practical than the larger hard plastic case.

I'm looking for a filter to give that soft focus old Hollywood look. Do I want the 1⁄8, ¼, or ½?
I have the 1/4, but I wish I got the 1/8, because the halation effect is too much for me, especially when there's a practical light in the background (street lights, or any kind of indoor lights). However, when you don't have these things in the background, I was very pleased with the skin softening effect on the 1/4. It looks especially good in black & white video or photo.

What filter strength would you recommend for landscape and cityscape photography?
Hi Paul,
A lot of customers stick with either 1/8, 1/4, or 1/2. You can also check out this link that shows you examples of the different densities:

The Lumix S5iix seems to have a more/aliasing issue. Will this filter (1/4, 1/2...) mitigate or eliminate this problem?
A pro mist filter can help reduce the effect. The stronger the filter the less you will have a problem with moiré.
