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.

Because capturing the perfect shot requires the right tools, the Tiffen 4x5" Glimmerglass 1/4 Density Filter is a must-have for professional photographers and videographers. This circular filter serves a dual purpose, acting as a beauty filter and a tool for subtly altering the subject's appearance.

When viewed from the front, the filter presents a shimmering, glimmering appearance that can inspire confidence in your models. This unique feature sets the Tiffen Glimmerglass 1/4 Density Filter apart from other filters in the market, making it a valuable addition to your photography equipment.

The filter's primary function is to soften skin details, effectively minimizing the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles. This results in a smoother, more flawless look that is highly desirable in portrait photography.

In addition to skin softening, the filter also produces glowing highlights and a mild reduction in contrast. This creates an ethereal, dream-like quality in your images, adding a layer of depth and intrigue.

The 1/4 density of this filter offers a balance between softening and clarity. It provides more softening than the 1/8 density filter, but less than the 1/2, making it a versatile choice for various shooting conditions and preferences.

In summary, the Tiffen 4x5" Glimmerglass 1/4 Density Filter is a powerful tool for enhancing the aesthetic quality of your images, making it an essential piece of equipment for professional photographers and videographers.
