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 time to elevate your photography and cinematography with the Tiffen 4.5" Round Glimmerglass 4 Filter, a high-quality, professional-grade beauty filter designed to transform your images. This versatile filter not only modifies the image's appearance but also sparkles when viewed from the front, instilling confidence in your subjects.

The Tiffen Glimmerglass 4 Filter is expertly crafted to soften skin details, diminish blemishes and wrinkles, and produce glowing highlights. It offers a mild reduction in contrast, creating an ethereal, dreamy appearance that's perfect for portraits, landscapes, and other types of photography.

With a large filter size of 114mm, this durable filter provides a unique soft focus effect. The 4 density offers more softening than the 3, yet less than the 5, striking the perfect balance for your creative needs.

This effective filter is made using Tiffen's proprietary ColorCore technology. This process involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass, then grinding it flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. This meticulous process ensures the filter's superior performance and longevity.

Experience the difference with the Tiffen 4.5" Round Glimmerglass 4 Filter, a must-have tool for every photographer and cinematographer seeking to enhance their work with professional, high-quality effects.
