Tiffen Filter Comparison (SoftFX, ProMist, Black Diffusion, Black Warm Diffusion)
Shot on the BPMCC4K in BM RAW 5:1 and edited and colored in DaVinci Resolve to compare the various optical characteristics of four subtle filters from Tiffen. I looked at the ProMist, SoftFX, Black Diffusion and Warn Black Diffusion filters side by side with specific focus on skin tonality and highlight falloff.
Here are the specific filters used:
77mm Black Diffusion F/X 1/2 Filter
77mm Warm Black Diffusion F/X 1/4 Filter
77mm Black Pro Mist 1/2 Filter
77mm Soft F/X 1 Filter

I personally like the looks of the SoftFX and Black Diffusion. Was hoping that the ProMist would have looked my magical but alas it felt rather flat. I will do more tests with more extensive color grading to refine my looks with these filters from Tiffen.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments below and be sure to suggest other filters you've used that give your films a more cinematic look. Thanks for watching.
