Question 1

What’s the difference between this black pro mist  snd the regular “pro mist”?

Accepted Answer

One DP says -

Black ProMist filters are just White (or Regular) ProMist filters with an extra layer of black specks to counteract the loss of contrast that the mist particles cause. So they also slightly suppress halation artifacts. This has a tendency to make the Black version look a little more subtle in effect compared to the same strength number regular ProMist (i.e. a #1/4 Black ProMist looks a little less strong than a #1/4 ProMist.)

Personally, I don't use Black ProMists much. When shooting digitally, I can control the loss of black when using regular ProMists by adjusting the Black level in the camera, and thus if the camera tends to have more depth of field, I don't rsik having the black specks start to come into focus, creating a "dirty windshield effect". Plus you can tweak contrast in post color-correction.

Or I'm using ProMists partly as a low-con filter too, so I want the lowering of contrast.

However, Black ProMists are more useful for softening close-ups compared to wider shots, since there is not such a visible change in contrast. So it depends on how much of that "ProMist" effect I want. However, if what I really want is softening more than a misty look, I tend to use other filters like Soft-FX, Black Diffusion-FX, or Classic Soft.

Question 2

Some reviews say they received BPM1/8 without front threads, especially after 2022. Can someone confirm that it has front thread? I need it to have.

Accepted Answer

Yes it does have it. You can stack up Tiffen filters.

Question 3

Does it come with a protective case?

Accepted Answer

Yes it does.

Question 4

Does a Canon lens cap fit over the filter?

Accepted Answer

Yes it does. It does not restrict access to lens cap or lens hood
