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. This fused design for filmmakers and photographers allows for expressive light shaping without swapping filters on set.

Cinematic diffusion with natural skin tones

The Black Pro-Mist element subtly lowers contrast and softens highlights to create a dreamlike, filmic aesthetic. It also smooths skin tones and reduces the appearance of blemishes and fine lines, making it a popular choice for beauty and portrait work. The 1/4 strength retains image clarity and depth, providing a natural look ideal for high-resolution sensors.

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. The 1 strength delivers a stronger glow and heavier smoothing of skin tones, suitable for stylised aesthetics or harsh lighting environments. Both versions feature complete Variable ND control.

What other filters are in Tiffen’s Fusion range?

Tiffen’s Fusion range includes FusionPOL and FusionVND filters. FusionPOL combines either Black Pro-Mist or Glimmerglass diffusion with a Circular Polariser. FusionVND filters pair these diffusion styles with Variable ND functionality, offering up to 8 stops of light control. Available in multiple strengths and sizes, the Fusion range gives creators a streamlined solution for light shaping and exposure control.
