Tiffen Glimmerglass Filter (49mm, Grade 1)
Key Features
  • Creates Glowing Highlights
  • Softens Skin Details
  • Sparkle Appearance for Added Confidence
  • ColorCore Glass
The 49mm Glimmerglass Grade 1 Filter from Tiffen is a beauty filter whose function is two-fold: in addition to modifying the appearance of the image itself, it also features a sparkling appearance when viewed from the front, instilling more confidence in the model. The filter itself helps soften skin details, blemishes, and wrinkles. It also produces glowing highlights and a mild reduction in contrast for a more ethereal appearance. The grade 1 diffusion provides a small amount of softening and overall image alteration.

how does the glimmerglass compare to the cinebloom?
Asked by: Allan
Glimmerglass and CineBloom are essentially the same filters types, but from different manufacturers. I have seen mention that Glimmerglass is more subtle of an effect compared to CineBloom, while having less halation and less contrast loss.

Asked by: felipe
No, unfortunately there are no 86mm Grade 1 Glimmerglass filters. I even checked their website and it's something they don't have on there either.

I want this filter for my fujifilm 35mm f2, but it seems rare to find and it doesn't seem like a lot of people have it. Is there a reason for it? I can still get it for my 16-80 but prefer 35mm for street.

Do you know what the equivalent strength of the 1 on this filter is? I was just on set where we used 1/8 in 4 x 5.65 and I liked the strength
Asked by: Christopher
The Tiffen Glimmerglass 1/8 Filter is not made in a screw on type. That is a very low density. The 77mm circular ones come in 1, 3 and 5. So those will have a stronger effect compared to the 1/8.
