Overview
The Black Pro-Mist filter is a popular choice for cinematographers due to its ability to reduce highlights and contrast, soften wrinkles and blemishes, and create a soft quality of light. Its ColourCore Technology adds a unique layering of contrast and gauzy halation, giving a warm depth to the image without affecting skin tones. This effect becomes more prominent at higher densities of 1/4 and above, making the filter a staple for many in the digital world.
Despite its success for over 30 years, it is important to note that the image displayed is for demonstration purposes only and the actual filter supplied is a 1/4 density. At this density, the Pro-Mist filter still delivers an effective increase in halation, making it a versatile and valuable tool for creating a pleasing and subtle look in cinematography.

Even at its lowest density, it delivers an effective and increase in the halation which adds a pleasing depth of warmth, but is not transported to the skin tone values. These characteristics will become more apparent when you use densities of 1 quarter and above.
In the heavier densities the spill is quite aggressive from the practical light, with the warm tone becoming more apparent. Yet the subtle but effective look still continues to make the pro mist filter a staple filter for many cinematographers in the digital world.
