As for the name? Revar Cine is having some fun with it as they state it’s inspired by the tears of the hard-working and abused PA’s onset. The video captures a recreation of the rough world they have to endure. Lol.
What it Actual is
PA Tears is a modern glass diffusion filter designed to give a decrease, in contrast, halation to light sources and a clean, bright organic look to your images. This silver mist filter will have a similar effect on your images to popular white mist or pearlescent filters, but with a less pronounced glow. It comes in one strength. Revar states that the PA Tears filter mixes well with multiple lighting setups to instantly create a slightly dreamy atmosphere and add depth to your scene without appearing like a 1970s music video.
DP Neil Watson describes PA Tears as: “a fantastic filter that accents and blooms lights and skin tones in color lights. Especially beautiful at night.”
Now available to order, the PA Tears filter is available in 4 x 5.65 size for standard filter trays or directly into matteboxes like the Bright Tangerine Misfit Atom. Each filter is carefully crafted with specially formulated fine particles resulting in a magical silver sheen. This is bonded inside the Schott B270 ultra-clear glass and polished to precision.
The PA Tears filter joins the popular Scarf Dust gold mist diffusion filter in Revar Cine’s expanding filter lineup. They are best known for creating high-quality Cine Variable ND filters, Rota-Tray Polarizers, and specialist diopters.

PA Tears filter retails for $399 USD but is available at an introductory price of $269 US for a limited time direct from Revar Cine website.
