Tiffen 49WBPM1 49mm Warm Black Pro-Mist 1 Filter

The Tiffen 49mm Warm Black Pro-Mist 1 filter is a specialty diffusion filter that merges two of Tiffen's signature effects into one piece of glass. The Black Pro-Mist element softens highlights by creating a controlled halation — a gentle glow around bright areas — while leaving shadow detail largely intact. Layered on top of this is Tiffen's proprietary 812 warming filter, which shifts the color balance toward warmer tones, counteracting the blue cast that commonly occurs when shooting in open shade, on overcast days, or under mixed lighting. The result is an image with a softer, more organic quality and naturally warmer skin tones without requiring post-production color correction.

The "1" in the filter name denotes a mild diffusion strength, making it suitable for everyday shooting where a subtle effect is preferred. Stronger densities are available for more dramatic looks. Built with Tiffen's ColorCore technology, the filter is constructed by laminating the effect material between two layers of optical glass, which ensures even distribution of the effect across the entire image. At 49mm, this filter fits compact prime lenses commonly found on mirrorless systems, making it a practical choice for portrait, travel, and lifestyle shooters who want an organic, film-like quality directly in-camera.
