Tiffen Pro-Mist 4x5.65 Filter Set

The Tiffen Pro-Mist is one of the most trusted diffusion filters in cinematography. It adds a warm, glowing halation to lights and softens contrast, and it works on digital and film cameras alike. This set is in the 4x5.65 size.

Pro-Mist has been a reference for diffusion for decades. Its halation is more obvious than pearlescent, so bright sources such as practical lamps and specular highlights bloom softly, while skin and fine detail stay intact. Its darker sibling, Black Pro-Mist, keeps more shadow density, and the two are often carried together.

The filters are 4x5.65 inch (Panavision size) glass for standard cinema matte boxes. Because the effect is strongest on practicals and specular light, it suits night interiors, music videos and period dramas. Choose a lighter grade for wide shots and a heavier one for close-ups, and swap the trays as the shot size changes.
