Tiffen 72mm Glimmerglass 2 Filter

Cinematic Diffusion with the Tiffen 72mm Glimmerglass 2

The Tiffen 72mm Glimmerglass 2 Filter is a specialized diffusion tool designed to create a soft, clean halation around specular light sources while maintaining high levels of image clarity. Unlike standard filters that can overly soften a frame, Glimmerglass preserves fine details and apparent sharpness, making it an ideal choice for high-resolution digital cinematography.

In portraiture and close-up work, the Glimmerglass 2 density excels by lowering contrast and gently rolling highlights into shadow areas. This effect moderately mutes vibrant colors for a more filmic aesthetic and naturally softens skin textures. A unique characteristic of this filter is its physical sparkle when viewed from the front, which can provide a psychological boost to on-camera talent during beauty and fashion shoots.

Engineered for professional use, this filter is manufactured using Tiffen's proprietary 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, ensuring consistent performance and long-term durability.
