The Tiffen 86mm Coarse Thread Warm 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 the least amount of contrast and highlight reduction and allows for a soft, pastel-like quality of light.
