Tiffen 49mm Glimmerglass 1/8 Filter

Cinematic Diffusion for Professional Results

The Tiffen 49mm Glimmerglass 1/8 Filter is a premier diffusion filter designed to produce a soft, clean halation around specular and practical light sources. Unlike traditional filters that can muddy an image, Glimmerglass maintains an apparent sharpness and fine detail across the entire frame. This 1/8 density provides a subtle, non-destructive look that is perfect for modern high-resolution digital sensors.

Flattering Beauty and Portraiture

On close-up shots, this filter excels by softening skin textures, wrinkles, and blemishes without sacrificing clarity. The low-contrast effect gently rolls into shadow areas and moderately mutes overly bright colors. A unique benefit of the Glimmerglass series is its sparkling appearance when viewed from the front; this visual cue adds confidence to on-camera talent during beauty and fashion productions.

Durable ColorCore Technology

Built to the highest standards, Tiffen filters are manufactured using ColorCore technology. This process involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass and grinding them flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. This ensures consistent performance and long-term durability for professional filmmakers and photographers.
