Tiffen 6.6 x 6.6" Glimmerglass 1/2 Filter

Key Features

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

The Tiffen 6.6 x 6.6" Glimmerglass 1/2 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 1/2 density provides more softening than the 1/4, but less than the 1.

This filter is made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass and grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. This filter measures 6.6 x 6.6" / 167.6 x 167.6mm.

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

Helps to soften skin details, blemishes, and wrinkles.

When viewed from the subject's perspective, the filter appears to be sparkling and helps to 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.

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.

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.
