Tiffen Fog 3 Filter with 105mm Coarse Thread

Tiffen Fog 3 Filter with 105mm Coarse Thread | 105CF3

Out on a commercial shoot under a hazy midday sun? Or maybe it’s a smoky club scene where the practicals are just a little too sharp. That’s where a good filtration system earns its keep?and this Tiffen Fog 3 filter with 105mm coarse thread is built for exactly those conditions. It introduces a soft, cinematic halation that rolls off harsh highlights without destroying shadow detail. Designed for large-diameter cinema lenses or matte box use, it’s a serious tool for gaffers and DPs who need reliable diffusion on set.

• Fog 3 density level creates a noticeable, even diffusion that suggests atmospheric haze?ideal for period pieces, moody portraiture, or flattening contrast in mixed lighting.
• The 105mm coarse thread is a specific spec for professional cine lenses and matte box adapter rings. It’s not a standard photo filter thread, so double-check your gear. It assumes a substantial build and tight threading.
• No additional glass coatings to worry about degrading image quality. The fog effect works by scattering light; you get a natural, consistent bloom around bright sources without veiling flare across the whole frame.
• Build quality is what you’d expect from Tiffen: solid metal rings, clean optical glass, and the sort of consistent filtering that doesn’t alter color temperature or introduce a green/magenta cast.

Use it straight on the front of a matched PL mount lens or stack it in a matte box tray with a slight gap for more extreme results. Either way, that coarse thread locks down securely. Just what you need when the lens is out at 20mm of travel and the focus pull is tight.
