taxes and duties make it more expensive to order from them compared to amazon germany.
Yes and about Amazon, check both German and Italian website sometimes you can find different prices, or discounted used goods at different prices.
Worth it or better use WB, Color Masks?
For digital stills you can always adjust tone both globally and locally in a fast way, especially for landscape but even for people.

Just got a second copy of the Tiffen pro mist 1. Is the surface supposed to look rough/dirty?

as in dotted with black dots? I think that should be that way altough I don't have a 1/1 myself. I found this somewhere else online on a board, same question as you altough the filter in the picture is a 1/4: https://image.ibb.co/neGXg9/BPM_14_005.jpg

Not Sony (sorry) but filters for effect. Could do this with a B&W modified Sony.
Hey Fred please delete these if anyone finds them inappropriate for this forum.

I guess it's not your fault. I suggested to move the thread to the general gear talk a couple posts ago as these filters are not Sony-specific . Going trough this sub, there are other such threads that I'd believe not to belong here such as "Desktop user with questions for laptop users" or "MacBook Pro vs Mac Studio - please help me decide…"
This exact same thread is mirrored in the Leica & Alternative Gear. So I believe it does not matter if you post non-sony pictures. I did as well anyway, not many people seem to care about effect filters I guess

It's not a Sony thread; I think Nehemiah originally posted it to the Alternative Gear forum (now Leica and Alternative Gear) and someone mirrored it to the Sony forum. At least that's my recollection from back when the thread first started.

I love the Tiffen Pearlescent filter and use it a lot. Lately we have had awful weather, so I have mostly done night shooting in town with it. Here is a bunch, all taken with A7RII and CV 75mm f/1.5 (last one was pure luck - it's not arranged):

https://helenasphotography.com/keep/2021/20211020_012_a7rll-cv75b.jpgWonderful shots! I think you just convinced me to pick up one of these filters...and schedule a trip to Norway
Helena's lovely shots got me interested in these glow/diffusion filters. So, I got a few and compared them. The effects are more subtle than in hers because they were taken inside during daylight with much less contrast. But I think they show interesting differences and have led me to have a preference.
I compared the Tiffen Pearlescent and the Tiffen GlimmerGlass filters. The Pearlescent filters were at strengths 1/2 and at 2. The GlimmerGlass filters were at strengths 1 and at 3. The photos are all labeled. The lens used was a Batis 25mm at f2.0.
I'd be interested in what people think of the differences and characteristics.

Pearlescent Two
GlimmerGlass 1
GlimmerGlass 3

Yes, the differences are subtle and web compression doesn't help. To my eyes on my screens, the Pearlescent are slightly stronger (at the chosen strengths), slightly warmer in a way that detracts from colors, e.g., the colors of the lilies on the hearth, and have a touch more diffusion or softening to them.
It is hard to see here, but based on other test shots I have done, with the Pearlescent in comparison to the GlimmerGlass the halation around a bright light source is stronger and tends to obscure any details in or near the light source. The Pearlescent also tends to spread flare more fully throughout the image. I'll post some more comparison when I have a chance.

You hit the point and made nice comparison shots. Pearlescent have a stronger glow effect and tends to lower contrast in larger areas and soften more in the focus zone. Glimmerglass is less softening, weaker in glow and keeping more fine details but they keep strenght in specular highlights and out of focus areas.
