Using A Pro-Mist Filter For Photography

I use a 1/8 on my X100V. Just a light touch of bloom and halation without someone saying “hey what filter is that?”

I have the 20% cinebloom as well, but that’s a heavy hitter for ethereal night scenes.

素敵な映像ありがとうございました❗️
またよろしくお願い致します🙇‍♀️

How i should meter the light if I’m using the pro Mist 1/4? Like usually + 1 stopp or do I need more stops?

the 1/4 and 1/2 doesn't show any difference.

1/8 vs 1/4 analysis most appreciated. Thank you 🙏😊

Too many eh's for me!

Huge help, thank you! I just purchased the Fuji 56mm f1.4 and wanted to find a good match for it, instead of using a UV/Protection filter. I like extra protection. Ialso have a Promaster HGX polarizer with a stepdwon ring Ican use on this lense. :) Great video and help!

Can’t tell. No comparison shots.

His work is beautiful but his idea of subtle is vastly different than mine.

Speaking of lighting, really enjoy your desk/room lighting. 🤌 the red/warm contrast

The is also a warm version.. the only one in stock at the moment. Did you tried that? Or do you not recommend it? Its called warm black pro mist 1/4 or 1/8

For anyone who is interested; when Tiffen created Pro Mist filters they created the different strengths in order to provide a consistent level of filtration across the range of focal lengths because the filtration effect increases as the focal length of the lens becomes more telephoto. A 1/4 pro mist (black or white) will be much stronger on an 85mm lens than it will be on a 25mm lens. A common formula for using Pro Mist filters is 1/2 for 18mm and wider, the 1/4 for 25-35mm and 1/8 for 50mm and above. This principle applies to all diffusion filters. I hope this information is useful.

I have something in common with those filters: I like to take the edge off

Hi Kyle..i cannot afford the wonderful Fuji 50r but would you recommend starting with my love for Pentax- the K1 mark 2 perhaps befor going medium format. And maybe couple that with 645n ? Thanks for you vids…so inspiring as I am an ex- photogravure printer by profession and used to scan negs/positive on huge Perspex drum scanners

Can we use multiple filters at same time ( cpl + nd + black mist) ?

Did you ever get around to shooting the promist on the 6x7? Any impressions?

That was a quite explanatory video on what these filters do and how to predict the effect they make - sometimes the effect demonstrated is kind of too weak to be noticed even in direct comparisons.

Extra point, the longer the focal length the more intense it will be, a 1/4 on a 70-200 can be a bit too overwhelming

I've ordered the new 7Artisans black mist filter into 1/8 strenght. I am more for the Film look, more analog. Because i love Film photography. Since one of my nowadays very old DSLR renders more film-esque, i hope to enhance that feeling a bit more with an 1/8 black mist filter, without overdoing it.

2 bad there isnt a comparison shot of no filter , 1/4 and 1/8.

I just shot a outdoors day event (lowrider picnic) using A BLACK PRO MIST FILTER stacked with a ND filter. These really improve the visuals big time. I shoot with a D3200 Nikon Crop Senor DSLR and 35mm kit lens.

Ahahahha funny « nothing too over the top » talking about the car upside down! Good one

A "feature" of digital photography is that everything is sharp and ultra-defined in a paradise for pixel-peepers. Yet there is an appealing and desirable ascetic in the imperfection of film photography and to myself, Pro-Mist filters is a way of putting that back into digital photography.

Hey Kyle what is the ring to use on different size lenses, please? Cheers

Any ideas on how to create this look in post? Maybe dehaze on photos but video 🤔

i don't think you used the word "CHARACTER" enough......please don't skimp next time.

Just picked up a 1/8 Black Pro Mist to use with Fuji glass on my X-T4. Did a boatload of research and looking forward to playing with it!

Well, this is the video that convinced me to pick up a few of these filters for my GFX! Thanks for making such a good video full of examples and such!

Cant wait to give these a go on my Z7, will be a great way to keep the practicality of digital while adding a bit of vibe to my photos.

Tiffen or Polar Pro Mist Filter??

Great review. Just used your link bro.

An old trick from way back in the day is to just rub your nose on the UV filter and then smear this super thin film of nose-fat over the UV filter to even it out. I wonder if the effect is similar... It certainly is cheaper, lol.

Are the pro mists no cine bloom the same ?

What’s the differences with the pearlescent ones?

Great video and examples

I shoot film with the 1/8 and looks amazing! Even more with Cinestill 800t

You put grains in your pictures?

Is this suitable to use for outdoor high key portraits?

This was so helpful. What do you shoot your short films with is it the camera you are using to film this video?

Hm the 1/4 is just too much for me

the intro reminded me of getting to the word count I needed in school texts

非常棒

That bell phone booth made me think of Canada and I was like “were there bell phone booths in the U.S. like this?? I thought they were all Bell South.. then boom, I saw a photo that gave away you’re in Canada: highway sign in English and French!

Super helpful stuff, I just bought my first film camera and I'm stoked. Lets be friends dude your work is sweet!

'Kind of' could not finish watching, 'you know'

Is that horrible noise on all pictures and videos is a product of this filter?

Yeah. Buying a sharp lens just to soften it up with a filter, absolutely brilliant. What about buying a soft lens in the first place?

Do you need different ones for different depths of lenses?

damn i really want that motel photo as my wallpaper

I’ve got an X100T and I’m confused what to get between the 1/4 and 1/8! I want to just put it on my camera and forget about it. Is 1/4 too strong for everyday photography? Is 1/8 so subtle that the looks make it purchasing it not worth it?
