I haven't tried anything other than the Pro Mist 1. I like that filter
and ought to use it more often. I once let a DP use one on a car
television shoot and the client hated the glow. It took about 100K
worth of flame work to get rid of it. (Flame is like PhotoShop for
motion pictures.) That sort of left a bad Pro Mist taste in my mouth:-)

Hi Paul,
That's close to what I'm looking for. Coincidentally, I purchased a
Pro
Mist #1 today and was going to play with it a bit, but wasn't able to
get
the right subject and lighting. There are so many Pro Mist filters -
at
least six or eight - so I started with the basic one. Next will be a
#3.
have you tried the Black Pro Mist? The shop had a couple but through
the
viewfinder of the LX it looked like a little overkill for what I want
to
try.
The shop also had "Film is not Dead" T-shirt up on the wall, right
under
the moose head.

Try a pro-mist filter. I have a number one. Gives a good glow. This
isn't a great example because it's backlit, but I did use the filter
on
this shot, and you can see a bit of the glow.

Before anti-halation backing, it was easy to get a nice glow around
white

trying
that with the contemporary B&W films. Any suggestions on how to do
this
(outside of Photoshop and Digital Trickery)?
