Tiffen 4 x 5.65" Glimmerglass 1/4 Filter
Key Features
  • Creates Glowing Highlights
  • Softens Skin Details
  • Sparkle Appearance for Added Confidence
  • ColorCore Glass
The Tiffen 4 x 5.65" Glimmerglass 1/4 Filter 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 to soften skin details, blemishes, and wrinkles. It also produces glowing highlights and a mild reduction in contrast for a more ethereal appearance. The 1/4 density provides more softening than the 1/8, but less than the 1/2.

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.

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.

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.
