Glimmerglass 3

Tiffen filters are always good quality and this is no exception. The effect is noticeable but not to the point where it makes the image look bad. I will definitely use this for a certain type of shot and not an every shot scenario.

Subtle but pleasant.

Subtle but pleasant effect, softens things slightly and gives a small amount of bloom without impacting overall contrast. Somewhat absurdly the description says that the sparkling filter will instill confidence in your subjects while shooting portraits but my friend just thought my lens was dirty, so take that claim with a grain of salt.

Soften it up

I love the way it makes highlights look. On my daily camera I don't need clinical sharpness. A little softness and halation gives the photos a bit more character for me.

A filmmakers friend

I really appreciate this lens filter. Images with heavy highlights or practical lighting looks much more pleasing and less digital. Highly recommend if you're going for a more filmic look.

My "go to" filter for human subjects.

If I am taking photos of family this filter is my "go to" tool! Love the warm color on skin tones.

Exactly what I needed arrived in a timely fashion.

It's the Tiffen 4x5" Round Glimmerglass 1 Filter, a top-tier beauty filter designed to enhance your photography by modifying the image's appearance. This filter not only improves the image quality but also adds a sparkling effect when viewed from the front, boosting the model's confidence during photo shoots.

The Tiffen Glimmerglass filter is expertly crafted to soften skin details, effectively minimizing the visibility of blemishes and wrinkles. It produces radiant highlights and subtly reduces contrast, giving your images a dreamy, ethereal quality. With a 1 density, this filter offers a higher degree of softening than the 1/2 density, but less than the 2, providing a balanced effect that's perfect for a wide range of applications.

This filter is a testament to Tiffen's commitment to quality, made using their proprietary ColorCore technology. This intricate process involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass, then grinding it flat to an impressive tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. The result is a high-performance filter that enhances your photography while maintaining the integrity of your images.

Whether you're a professional photographer or a passionate hobbyist, the Tiffen 4x5" Round Glimmerglass 1 Filter is an essential tool for creating stunning, high-quality images.
