Tiffen Glimmerglass Filter (1)

The Tiffen 4×5.65″ Glimmerglass Filter (1) is a fine diffusion filter designed for filmmakers and photographers looking for subtle digital image softening and a more pleasing skin tone appearance. Level 1 represents a milder degree of effect, achieving a slight but visible softening of detail and a slight “veiling” of highlights without significantly affecting the sharpness or color fidelity of the image.

The main advantage of the Glimmerglass filter is its ability to add a subtle, attractive sheen to the scene. Reflecting light in bright areas gives a subtle “halo” effect, lending a cinematic feel to shots. Shadow and light transitions become more harmonious and skin tones take on a healthier, more natural look. This filter is often used in portraiture, fashion, film production and commercials where the goal is to achieve aesthetically appealing, balanced shots.

The Glimmerglass Filter (1) is manufactured with an emphasis on high optical quality and durability, conforms to the standard 4×5.65″ format and is compatible with most matte boxes and filter holders. With its subtle but effective effect, it offers filmmakers the ability to fine-tune the atmosphere of a scene in a precise and controlled manner without significantly altering its character.
