Love the 1/8 - we paired our R5C and it with a Red using Cooke Panchro Classics and it it worked flawlessly.

Simply the Best

I have 95mm Black Pro-mists in 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 and 1 versions and adapter rings for all lens sizes I have. I shoot with 102 megapixel camera and the effect of the Pro-mists is stunning. There is a reason filmmakers in Hollywood have been using these for decades. They are simply the best!
