Glimmer Glass Filter

The Tiffen 4 x 5.650″ Glimmerglass Filter is a diffusion filter that subtly softens your image. It adds a glamorous glow to the subject while keeping overall sharpness and detail intact. Photographers and cinematographers often use it to enhance skin tones, reduce the harshness of bright lights, and create a flattering look on screen or in print.

Soft, Flattering Diffusion

This filter reduces the appearance of fine lines, blemishes, and imperfections while preserving image clarity. As a result, it works especially well for portrait work. It also adds a subtle glamorous glow, giving highlights a gentle “glimmer.” This makes it particularly useful in beauty and fashion shoots, where a soft, sparkling quality enhances the overall mood of the image.

Diffusion Without Losing Contrast

While the Glimmerglass softens the image, it keeps overall contrast intact. So you avoid the washed-out look that some diffusion filters can create. This balance lets you add a dreamy, glamorous effect without sacrificing image quality or depth.

Multiple Grades for Flexible Control

The filter is available in multiple strengths — 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 — giving you flexible control over the level of diffusion and glow. As a result, you can choose the exact grade that suits your scene, whether you want a barely noticeable softness or a stronger glamorous effect.

Built with ColorCore Technology

Tiffen crafts the Glimmerglass using its proprietary ColorCore technology. This process laminates the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass and grinds it to a precise flatness. As a result, the filter delivers consistent optical performance and long-lasting durability, making it a popular choice in both the film industry and portrait photography.
