Hauppauge, NY – April 5, 2013 - The Tiffen Company, a leading manufacturer of award-winning accessories for the still imaging, video, motion picture and broadcast markets, today announced the availability of the company’s new MPTV IRND+Black Pro-Mist® in 4 x 4, 4 x 5.65 and 6.6 x 6.6 sizes, and IRND+Digital Diffusion FX (DDFX) filters in 4 x 5.65 and 6.6 x 6.6 sizes.
