I am (hopefully) starting photography on a small indie feature soon.

I will be shooting on a Sony FS7 with Rokinon Cine DS primes and I decided to put on Tiffen Satin filters to soften the very crisp look.

Sadly they don't have a 1/2 strength in the screw-on kind. Here are the results:

All of these were shot UHD with a F4 at 6 feet. I shot CINE EI mode with baked in 709TypeA LUT.

I am leaning towards Satin 2 on the 12 and 25mm. Satin 1 on the 35 and 50. I am torn between no filter or Satin 1 on the 85. I wish they had that 1/2 strength in the screw-in style filter (I may have to spring for a matte box).
