Tiffen Pro-Mist 1/4 Filter 105mm Coarse Thread

Tiffen Pro-Mist 1/4 Filter 105mm Coarse Thread | 105CPM14

The coarse threading on this Tiffen Pro-Mist 1/4 Filter 105mm is immediately noticeable ? it’s deliberate, designed for security on large-diameter cinema lenses and modern telephoto barrels. When you screw it on, the wide 105mm ring seats with a satisfying solidness that thinner filters just don’t match. The 1/4 diffusion strength works subtly but visibly: highlights bloom naturally, contrast pulls back slightly, and skin takes on a gentle softness without losing edge detail. No plastic or resin construction here ? it’s solid optical glass in a true brass filter ring.

• True 1/4 Pro-Mist diffusion ? spreads specular highlights and softens micro-contrast while keeping overall sharpness intact. Film grain and fine texture remain visible.
• 105mm coarse thread design to prevent cross-threading on heavy, expensive cine lenses. Easier to mount and far less likely to bind than standard-width threads.
• Works best on lens systems that already demand a 105mm step-up ring or native filter diameter. Common in RED, ARRI, and high-end DSLR rigs.
• Two-side polished optical glass with multi-layer anti-reflective coatings to reduce flare from unfiltered side light.

This filter suits your kit if you shoot faces under harsh top light, night exterior scenes with point sources, or any situation where you’d rather smooth a highlight in-camera than chase it in post. It’ll live on your lens most of the shoot.
