Thanks for all the fantastic responses. I want to go through and reply individually to some, but I got covid-like symptoms (awaiting test result) and haven't been up to it yet but I appreciate the input and will join in soon!

Tiffen black or white pro-mist, 1/2 or 1. They were the rage. I favored the Harrison and Harrison diffusion set, personally. This was always done on camera, not in post
