Tiffen Glimmerglass Filter (82mm, Grade 1)

Key Features

Creates Glowing Highlights
Softens Skin Details
Sparkle Appearance for Added Confidence
ColorCore Glass

The 82mm 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.

Tiffen Glimmerglass Overview

This filter is made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and then mounting it onto precision metal rings.

Produces glowing highlights and a slight reduction in contrast for a more ethereal image appearance.

Helps soften skin details, blemishes, and wrinkles.

When viewed from the subject's perspective, the filter appears to be sparkling and helps instill confidence in models, resulting in a potentially better performance.

nice filter

Nice filter to take a little bit of the edge off of digital, without being too in your face.

A different flavor of diffusion

Been a fan of Glimmer Glass as a slightly different alternative to Black Pro Mist. A little less bloom in the highlights than the same grade of Black Pro Mist. I have them on all my photo lenses.

See any errors on this page?

is there 86mm grade 1 for a zeiss otus available?

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.

Is there any light loss?

Asked by: Zak

From testing in the store, we saw no visible change in exposure, likely indicating a 1x filter factor and almost complete light transmission (minus any potential loss from coatings and glimmerglass particulates).

What's the difference between this and a Black Promist Filter?

Asked by: Jesse

A Black Pro-Mist filter and the Tiffen 82mm Glimmerglass 1 Filter soften wrinkles, blemishes, and other details, but the Glimmerglass filter creates glowing highlights, while the Black Pro-Mist filter reduces highlights.

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.

Unfortunately, we are not privy to any information on the popularity or rarity of Tiffen's Glimmerglass #1 43mm filter. However, we have experience with their Glimmerglass filters and believe it will be a great addition to your system of lenses and filters!

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.
