Quick simple setup to look at the differences in BPM filter densities. I used a wider angle lens and a longer focal length to look at any possible differences in contrast and characteristics. I kept the camera at roughly the same distance but moved it back a bit for the 85mm. Lenses are the tokina cinema vista primes, at a constant T2.8 for this test. Lighting is a 300d II with fresnel and 1/2 cts through 6x6 unbleached muslin for the key. I set up an Intellytech LiteCloth 1 x 3' with a soft box in the background to better see the halation and blooming effects of the filters. For the same reason I left on the chandelier type unit on over the table in the background.

Filters: BPM 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 2

Specs:
Canon C200b
RAW 12 bit
4300k
ISO 800
Tokina Cinema Vista 25mm, 85mm
T2.8

Color was done in Davinci Resolve. I did not use a 709 lut because I never use those for real shoots and I wanted to get a sense of what each filter would look like on any given shoot, so I graded how I normally would with color wheels and curves and all that. The same grade is applied to each shot with no additional adjustments.

Big thank you to Chelsea Summers for helping out and letting me use her mom's living room.
