Two signature effects in one filter

The Tiffen Black Pro-Mist 1/4 Variable ND Filter combines two of Tiffen’s most iconic technologies—cinematic Black Pro-Mist diffusion and adjustable Neutral Density control—in a single, professional-grade filter. It delivers strong creative styling and practical light control without the need to stack filters, making it ideal for filmmakers and photographers working in high-contrast or stylised lighting environments.

Cinematic diffusion with natural skin tones

At full strength, the Black Pro-Mist effect creates a noticeable glow around highlights and a strong softening of contrast, delivering a highly stylised, film-like appearance. This diffusion makes it well-suited to creative shoots, dramatic lighting setups, and productions aiming for a classic cinematic atmosphere. It also significantly smooths facial detail, reducing the need for retouching in post.

Variable ND for exposure and depth control

Integrated VND functionality offers up to 8 stops of light reduction, enabling wide apertures in bright conditions or slower shutter speeds to introduce motion blur. This integration makes it especially useful for video capture, long exposure photography, or any scenario requiring precise exposure adjustments without changing your aperture or ISO.

FAQs:

What is the difference between the 1/4 filter and the 1 version?

The 1/4 strength provides light diffusion, gently softening contrast and highlights while preserving detail—ideal for natural, cinematic looks.
