Tiffen 40.5mm Glimmerglass 2 Filter

Cinematic Diffusion with Precise Control

The Tiffen 40.5mm Glimmerglass 2 Filter is a premium diffusion tool designed to create a soft, clean halation around practical and specular light sources. Unlike traditional diffusion filters, Glimmerglass maintains an apparent sharpness across the entire frame, ensuring that fine details remain crisp while the overall atmosphere is enhanced.

When used for close-ups, this filter excels at lowering contrast and softening the transition into shadow areas. This subtle reduction in contrast also moderately mutes vibrant colors, resulting in a sophisticated, non-invasive look that is ideal for modern digital sensors.

• Maintains fine detail while softening skin tones
• Reduces the harshness of digital sensors
• Non-destructive halation that never overpowers the image

Enhanced Beauty and Talent Confidence

Beyond its optical performance, the Glimmerglass series offers a unique physical benefit. The filter glass itself sparkles when viewed from the front, providing a psychological boost to talent during beauty shoots. This allows cinematographers and photographers to focus entirely on the composition while the subject feels confident on camera.

Built with Tiffen's legendary ColorCore technology, this filter is crafted by laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass, then grinding and polishing them to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. This ensures consistent results and long-term durability for professional use.
