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.

Using it on an X100V and I'm really liking the results I'm getting.

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.

While Tiffen's 4.5" Glimmerglass 1/2 Filter may appear as a simple accessory, it serves as a dual-purpose tool, functioning both as a professional-grade beauty filter and a modifier for the subject's appearance. This high-quality, durable filter is designed to create a sparkling appearance when viewed from the front, a feature that can enhance the confidence of your model during photography sessions.

The innovative design of this versatile filter softens skin details, subtly blurring blemishes and wrinkles. This results in a smoother, more flattering image, while simultaneously producing glowing highlights. The filter also provides a mild contrast reduction, crafting an ethereal, dream-like aesthetic that can elevate any photo.

The 1/2 density of this filter offers a balanced level of softening, providing more diffusion than the 1/4 variant, but less than the 1. This makes it an ideal choice for photographers seeking a middle ground between these two extremes.

Crafted by Tiffen, a reputable brand known for its commitment to quality, this 4.5" Glimmerglass 1/2 Filter is a valuable addition to any photography kit. Whether you're a professional photographer or an enthusiastic hobbyist, this filter can help you achieve stunning, professional-grade results. Sold by Adorama, your trusted source for top-tier photography equipment.
