Overview

The Tiffen 62mm Warm Black Pro-Mist 1 Filter is a dual-purpose optical filter that merges two of Tiffen's most popular effects into a single piece of glass. The Black Pro-Mist side of the equation gently softens highlights, reduces overall contrast, and introduces a subtle halation around bright light sources — the same cinematic glow that has made Pro-Mist filters a staple on film and television sets for decades. Layered on top of that is Tiffen's proprietary 812 warming technology, which shifts the color palette toward a pleasing warm tone, counteracting the blue cast that often appears when shooting in open shade, overcast skies, or fluorescent lighting.

At a strength of 1, the filter strikes a balance between a clearly visible effect and a natural-looking image. Skin tones benefit the most: blemishes and fine texture are gently smoothed, while the warmth adds a healthy, flattering glow without heavy post-processing. Because both effects are applied optically, the look is captured in-camera, giving footage and stills a character that is difficult to replicate precisely with software filters. The filter is built with Tiffen's ColorCore technology, sandwiching the effect material between two layers of optical glass for long-term durability and consistent performance.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Combines two effects — softening and warming — in a single filter, reducing the need to stack glass.
  • The 1 density offers a visually pleasing softening that works for both photo and video without looking overdone.
  • Eliminates the cool blue cast common in open shade and overcast conditions without white-balance adjustment in post.
  • Standard 62mm thread fits a wide range of lenses and can be adapted with step-up rings.
  • Durable Tiffen ColorCore glass construction resists delamination over time.

👎 Cons

  • The fixed warming tint cannot be dialed back, which may be unwanted in scenes that are already warm-toned.
  • At 62mm it only fits one thread size; shooters with multiple lens diameters will need additional filters or step-up rings.
  • Softening effects are baked into the image and cannot be fully removed in post-production.
  • The halation on bright highlights may be too pronounced for documentary or clinical work where sharpness is critical.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Warm Black Pro-Mist combines the halation and contrast-reduction effects of the standard Black Pro-Mist with Tiffen's 812 warming filter, which corrects cool blue casts and adds a subtle warm tone in a single piece of glass.
The 1 density provides a noticeable but controlled softening — highlights glow gently and contrast is reduced without making the image look out of focus. It is a popular middle-ground choice for portraiture and narrative work.
No. The Warm Black Pro-Mist 1 does not introduce enough density to interfere with autofocus performance or through-the-lens metering on modern cameras.
Yes, it uses standard 62mm threading and can be stacked, though adding multiple filters increases the risk of vignetting on wide-angle lenses.
No. The warming component is built into the glass at a fixed strength. If you need more or less warmth, Tiffen offers the effect in different densities and you can also combine a standard Black Pro-Mist with a separate warming filter.
