Two signature effects in one filter

The Tiffen Black Pro-Mist 1 Circular Polarising Filter combines two of Tiffen’s most iconic technologies—high-strength Black Pro-Mist diffusion and glare-reducing circular polarisation—into one 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.

Polarising control for colour and clarity

Integrated within the same glass is a circular polariser, which enhances colour saturation, deepens blue skies, and eliminates unwanted reflections from surfaces such as glass, water, and polished metal. This added layer of optical control is beneficial in outdoor shooting conditions, landscape photography, and reflective environments.

FAQs:

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

The 1/4 strength offers light diffusion—gently softening highlights and contrast while maintaining fine detail, making it ideal for a natural, cinematic look. The 1 strength produces a much stronger effect, with a pronounced glow around light sources and heavier smoothing of skin tones. It’s better suited to stylised visuals or scenes with harsh lighting. Both versions include full circular polariser functionality.

What other filters are in Tiffen’s Fusion range?

Tiffen’s Fusion range includes FusionPOL and FusionVND filters, which combine its popular diffusion effects with added light control. FusionPOL merges either Black Pro-Mist or Glimmerglass diffusion with a Circular Polariser. FusionVND filters combine the same diffusion options with Variable ND functionality, offering up to 8 stops of light reduction. Both lines are available in multiple strengths and sizes.
