This filter truly transforms and refines footage, making it an indispensable asset for achieving high-quality, cinematic results.

How would this compare with the Tiffen Glimmerglass?

Asked by: William

I tested the glimmerglass 1, glimmerglass 3 and the Schneider 1/8th. The Schneider has a similar subtle effect but backlight glow in more obvious in the lightest Scheider 1/8th than the GG1 even. Not sure which numbers match but the GG1 had a slightly more obvious softness than the Schneider 1/8, which has a barely evident softness but does make backlights glow. Glimmerglass1 seems like just the good amount of softness but if you were to go with Schneider, start with the 1/4th

question

The image you show for 4X5.65 looks like 4X4 since it is a square. Is 4X5.65 coming for sure if I order?

Asked by: Anonymous

I agree that the image looks square, but I can assure you the filter we will send you is 4x5.65 I cross referenced the Mfr# with Schneider to make sure.
